Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pounds red potatoes (peeled and cut into 1″ dice)
- 2 teaspoons salt (for boiling water)
- 3 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions

- Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and top with a pat of butter and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a little extra flavor, consider adding chopped chives or parsley on top before serving.
