Ingredients:
5 lbs russet potatoes
1 stick butter
8 oz sour cream
⅓ c chives, chopped
½ c heavy cream
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Method:
Peel the potatoes and remove any spots. Cut them into small chunks and place in a pot. Cover with water and drain to rinse off extra starch. Fill the pot to cover with water again and bring to a boil.
Boil for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are a little more than fork tender. They will mush easily when stabbed with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and place back in the pot. Add the butter, sour cream, and heavy cream and whip with a hand mixer until fluffy.
Keep beating with the mixer and add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chives. Whip until combined, about 15 seconds.

If you don’t have a hand mixer, feel free to use a potato masher or a whisk. It might take a little longer and require a little more labor, but the end results are just as tasty! Also, If you prefer redskin smashed potatoes, feel free to sub out redskins for the Idahos!
