Mashed potatoes with skins are just as tasty as those made with peeled potatoes. This is a version of mashed potatoes that my husband actually likes. You can use any type of potatoes and change the amounts of butter, sour cream, and milk to your taste. I like it with russets myself.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet baking potatoes , unpeeled and cubed
- 0.5 cups butter
- 0.25 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl.

2
Add butter to the bowl; use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash potato mixture until mostly smooth. Add milk and sour cream; continue mashing to desired texture. Be careful not to overmix potatoes once they are creamy.

Stir garlic and basil into mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

Simple soft, chewy recipe. You can add a lot of things or... nothing at all. I have never tried them chocolate covered but I am sure this recipe, after cooled, could be dipped in chocolate as well!
