Directions. 1  Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover. 2  Add the butter, sour cream, Â¾ cup of the milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and Â½ teaspoon pepper to the potatoes and mash until smooth (adding more milk if necessary).
When it comes time to mash the potatoes, first cut them up into 2-inch chunks. In the same pot that you boiled them (now off the burner and cooled) use a potato masher to mash them. Use milk with a higher fat content for mashing, as it will make them creamier. And most importantly, make sure the milk has been warmed beforehand. If the milk is cold, then the potatoes will come out gummy.
