Ingredients  

  • 5 lbs Idaho potatoes
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Method 

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into 2 inch cubes. Do not rinse after cutting. You want the starch.
  • Place potatoes, milk, chicken broth, and salt into a large pot. Bring to a light boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring often, until the potatoes begin to break down and soften.
  • Remove from heat and add butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Whip or mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
