Serves: 6

Cooking Time: 15 min

What You'll Need:

• 3 pounds Idaho Russet potatoes, peeled, cut into chunks
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

What To Do:

Place potato chunks in a large pot and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender; drain well.

In a large bowl, combine potatoes and remaining ingredients; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.

Test Kitchen Tip:

Store Idaho potatoes in a cool, dark and well-ventilated place. They will keep for about a week at room temperature and for several weeks at 45 to 50 degrees.
