Ingredients

  • 4 pounds yukon gold potatoes peeled & cut into 2" chunks
  • 6 garlic cloves peeled and halved
  • 2 ½ teaspoons salt divided
  • 8 ounces low-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped parsley for serving

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes, garlic, and 2 teaspoons of salt in a large pot and cover with 1 inch of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the potatoes reach a boil, cook for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain, then immediately transfer them to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Add the sour cream, vegetable broth, butter, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix until the potatoes break down and the mixture reaches your desired consistency. If you don't have a stand mixer or hand mixer, you can use a potato masher.
  • Serve warm and top with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • My Top Tip: Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces. They cook more evenly and quickly when cut into 2" chunks, as compared to boiling them whole.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–5 days.
