Peel and cut potatoes. Boil for about 20 to 30 minutes or until a fork slides through easily. The thicker the slice of potato the longer it will take to cook. Do not over cook or the potatoes will be too watery. When they are cooked drain potatoes well. Add about 1/2 cube butter, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 Tablespoon milk, and any seasonings you like per 5 large potatoes. Depending on how many potatoes you use will determine how much butter and sour cream you should use. The potatoes should be creamy and not too stiff. I like to use a potato masher to make mashed potatoes, my husband prefers a hand mixer. Either one works fine. Russet Potatoes work best for mashed potatoes.
