Category: Mashed Potatoes
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 1/2 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup sour cream
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped basil

In a saucepan combine potatoes with enough water to cover by 1 inch and add 1 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander.

Add butter and milk to the saucepan and heat until butter is melted. Return potatoes to the saucepan, add sour cream, and mash with a potato masher until desired smoothness is achieved. Season with more salt (if necessary) and black pepper. Stir in chopped basil and serve immediately. Serves 4
