Really potatoes in general, French fries, mashed, smashed, or baked. I love them in each and every way.
Should you flavor your mashed potatoes?
Potatoes are a staple around the world. They are starchy and very plain, so you should definitely flavor your mashed potatoes. Why just use milk and butter to season them? Get wild and try some different things! These Sour Cream and Ranch Mashed Potatoes are no exception, I can’t get enough! Seasoning them was also really easy! I just added a few extras to give them a whole new taste.
Ingredients:
- Russet Potatoes
- Unsalted Butter

Tip: Use a hand masher for mashed but lumpy potatoes or an electric hand mixer for creamy potatoes.
FAQ:
Can you substitute Sour Cream for Milk?
Yes you can, please remember it may change the flavor than what milk does. In this recipe I use Milk to make it creamy and the sour cream to flavor it.
What can I use to replace Milk in Mashed Potatoes?
You can use the cooking water from the mashed potatoes, veggie or chicken stock, any milk alternative, or sour cream.
