Mashed Potatoes step by step
Time to wash and cut these potatoes up.
Place whole potatoes in a pot and cover with chicken broth.Cover & bring to a boil. Cook potatoes for about 30 minutes or until fork tender. The fork should slide easily into the potato..
When potatoes are tender, drain the broth and set aside. Save a little broth to use to thin out your potatoes if needed..
In small saucepan, add half n half, butter, & sour cream. Heat just until warm. Do not boil..
While cream sauce is heating mash up the potatoes. I prefer to use a whisk!When potatoes are mashed add in the cream mixture a little at a time, stirring after each addition.Use the reserved chicken broth and/or half n half to thin out your potatoes to the perfect consistency. I like mine thick and creamy so I usually only add in a few tablespoons of half nhalf and chicken broth. I usually add in about 3-4 tablespoons of butter as well. AGAIN my preference.
Now add in a few seasonings. I like to use paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt & pepper. This seasoning combo taste so good on potatoes to me. Feel free to use what you like! My sister likes Chives and parsley so to herw i add that and she states that it's good as well..
Add the seasonings in a little at a time and taste after each addition to make sure it is perfectly seasoned to your liking and Enjoy 💚.
