Ingredients

  • 5 pounds potatoes red, Yukon gold, or russet potatoes
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese shredded
  • tablespoons salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. Place into a pot and cover with hot water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 20-30 minutes, or until fork tender.
  • Once cooked, drain the water off the potatoes and add them back to the pot along with the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, Gruyere cheese, salt, milk, 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!

Notes

Storing leftovers: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
Reheating: to reheat, either microwave or transfer to a small pot over medium heat and add a little extra butter and milk. Stir frequently until warmed through.
For a more rustic texture, only peel half of the potatoes and leave the other half on.
