Mashed Potatoes

Sadie is our mashed potato maker around here. She definitely knows what she's doing. :)

5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (or Russets, if preferred) 

1/2 c. butter (1 stick) 
1/2 c. milk or heavy cream

1/2 c. sour cream

Salt and Pepper 

        Peel and chop potatoes into chunks. In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until totally soft, 16-18 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth.
        Melt butter and milk until warm. Pour over potatoes and stir until completely combined and creamy. Add sour cream and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
