Ingredients
-
3
large Russett potatoes
-
1 cup
Sour Cream (more or less to suit your taste)
-
1.5 tablespoons
butter
-
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Cover potatoes in salted water and bring to a boil. Let cook until they can be easily pierced with a knife.
-
Remove potato skins carefully (they are hot!). Place a potato ricer over a serving dish or bowl. Cut soft butter into small pieces and dot the bottom of the bowl. Cut potatoes into pieces and put through a potato ricer. About half way through the potatoes add more dabs of butter. Continue ricing potatoes until all are done.
-
Add one half of the sour cream, salt and pepper. Stir until the sour cream is well combined and add more until the potatoes are creamy and suit your taste. Salt and Pepper again if desired. The potatoes can take a lot of seasoning and the pepper tastes great with the sour cream.
