📝 Preparation Steps
1
Fill a large stockpot about halfway with cold water. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal-sized medium dice. Place the cut potatoes into the cold water. Swirl the potatoes around in the water, then drain the water off.
2
Fill cold water back into the pot until the potatoes are covered. Place the pot on the stove, cover, and turn the heat to high.
3
Boil
4
Bring to a boil and boil, covered, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are soft, about ⏱️ 25-30 minutes. A fork inserted into a potato will have no resistance.
5
Add
6
While the potatoes are simmering, add the butter and milk to a small pot. Place it over low heat and cook just until the butter has melted. Take off the heat and set aside.
7
Drain the potatoes well and leave the potatoes in the hot pot with the lid off for ⏱️ 5 minutes, allowing excess steam to escape. Pour the butter/milk mixture into the pot and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.
8
Add the sour cream and stir it in. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
9
Stir
10
Once you are ready to serve, stir in the parsley, chives, and fresh thyme. Serve immediately with more butter and herbs, if desired.
