As a classically-trained chef, I tested all the ratios to ensure your Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes are fluffy, flavorful, and extra creamy.You’ll savor every bite!   Meggan’s notes I’m a big believer in the simplest mashed potatoes possible.My gold standard is nothing but potatoes (high-starch like russets), butter, milk, and salt (in that order).

But for the sake of variety, I wanted to play with adding something extra, and I reached for sour cream first.Sour cream is a great choice because I already know it’s delicious atop classic baked potatoes, stirred into the filling for twice-baked potatoes, or elevating your next twice-baked potato casserole.Potatoes and sour cream go together like peas and carrots! Things go south fast, though, if you don’t have the right ratios.

Nothing is worse than watery mashed potatoes or gluey spuds, so I tried it out a few different times to make sure this is the best possible version.Sleep easy and cook with confidence with this recipe! The sour cream elevates your mashed potatoes without weighing them down or overwhelming the fluffiness factor.Every bite is buttery with a delicious tang, the perfect side dish for your holiday table.
