Ingredients

8 to 10 medium red new potatoes, skin on
1/2 cup hot milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick. Cook in boiling water for 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Whip unpeeled cooked potatoes with electric mixer; mix until moderately smooth. Don’t overbeat them; a few lumps are nice. Add hot milk, butter, and sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Whip until mixed. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, if desired.
