Servings 6 People
Ingredients
- 8 medium Russett Potatoes Peeled and cut into one inch chunks.
- 1/3 cup Light Sour Cream
- 4 tbsp. Butter softened
- 2 tsp. Onion Salt Preferrably Trader Joe's Onion Salt Seasoning
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup 2% milk Add for desired consistency.
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into one inch chunks. Toss into a large pot and cover with cold water. Make sure you salt the water as you would for pasta. Bring the pot to a boil and boil for 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Add the butter, sour cream and Trader Joe's Onion Salt (see recipe notes for if you don't have this ingredient). Mash with a potato masher.
- Taste for seasoning and add salt, pepper and milk to achieve desired taste and consistency.
Notes
If you don't have Trader Joe's Onion Salt I recommend you use another brand of onion salt OR you can use onion powder and mix it with some salt and chives. I would recommend 1 tbsp. of chives , 2 tsp. of onion powder and then you'll just need to adjust the salt in the potatoes to account for the lack of salt in the seasoning if you use powder.
