**Company Mashed Potatoes**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped chives for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Start by placing the diced potatoes in a large pot and covering them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
2. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, in a separate saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until warm. Be careful not to let it boil.
4. Once the potatoes are cooked through, drain them well and return them to the pot.
5. Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency using a potato masher or a fork.
6. Add the softened butter to the mashed potatoes, mixing it in until it’s completely incorporated.
7. Pour in the warm milk gradually while stirring to combine. The warm milk will help make the potatoes extra creamy.
8. Stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
9. Continue to mix and mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. If needed, you can add more milk for a softer texture.
10. Once the mashed potatoes reach your desired consistency and flavor, transfer them to a serving bowl.
11. Garnish with chopped chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
12. Serve the Company Mashed Potatoes hot as a delightful side dish that will complement any main course.
