Ingredients

  • 5 lbs Potatoes red, Yukon gold, or russet Potatoes
  • cup Sour Cream full fat, or skim
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
  • ½ cup Gruyere Cheese shredded
  • Tablespoons Salt
  • ½ cup Milk or cream
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Salted Butter

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. (You can leave the peel on if desired or peel half of the potatoes. The potato peel gives it a rustic texture, so yummy)
  • Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with hot water, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and bring to a boil.
  • Cooking on medium heat, boil potatoes for 20-30 minutes or until the potato is soft but not mushy. You'll know it has cooked long enough when you stick a fork in the potato and the potato doesn't stay on the fork when you lift it.
  • Drain the water off the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the pot again and add the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, Gruyere cheese, salt, milk (or cream), garlic powder, and salted butter. Mash potatoes with a hand masher or an electric mixer until you reach the desired consistency (do not over mix!).
  • To serve, top with a pat of butter and chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!
