Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes

Recipe Description

Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes – the ultimate comfort food! This Thanksgiving side will impress your dinner guests no end. You’ll be handing out the recipe for these creamy mashed potatoes at the end of the meal. I always use Yukon gold potatoes when I make this recipe but you can use your preferred potato for mashing.

Start by boiling the potatoes. Melt butter with half-and-half in a small saucepan. Drain and mash the potatoes and add the butter/half-and-half mixture and sour cream and chives. Mix gently and serve garnished with freshly chopped chives.

To make Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:

These Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes are simply the best. I made them for our Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved them. My wife says they taste just like her mom's recipe. The chives add a fresh kick that we all enjoyed. Will definitely make again.
