📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place 5 lb. russet potatoes, peeled, cut into quarters, in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Add 1 Tbsp. onion powder and enough kosher salt to make water taste briny like the ocean. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer (do not boil!) until potatoes are tender but not crumbly, 30–⏱️ 35 minutes (a tester or skewer inserted into centers should meet with very little resistance). Drain potatoes; return to warm pot. Let sit off heat, uncovered, to allow excess liquid to steam off while you heat cream mixture.

Using a potato masher, smash hot potatoes until smooth (you can also pass through a ricer or food mill into a large bowl if you prefer, then transfer back to pot). Add cream mixture; mix vigorously to combine. Add one 16-oz. container sour cream and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, and mix again to combine (return pot to low heat if needed). Season with more salt if needed. Stir in 6 scallions (about 1 bunch), dark green parts only, thinly sliced.
