**Suse Kartoffeln**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1 cup of milk
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
– 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese
– 1/4 cup of sour cream
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Chopped chives, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed potatoes. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow the potatoes to cook until they are fork-tender, usually about 15-20 minutes.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, in a separate saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter has melted. Keep the milk mixture warm on the stove.
3. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot over low heat. Add the minced garlic to the potatoes and mash them until they reach your desired consistency.
4. Gradually pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously to incorporate the liquid. The potatoes should become creamy and smooth as you mix.
5. Stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese until it melts and blends into the creamy potatoes. The cheese will add a wonderful depth of flavor and a slight sharpness to the dish.
6. Add the sour cream to the potatoes, stirring well to combine. The sour cream will provide a tangy richness that perfectly complements the creaminess of the potatoes.
7. Season the Suse Kartoffeln with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning until it suits your preferences. Remember that the cheese and butter will already add some saltiness, so start with a little and adjust as needed.
8. Once everything is well combined and seasoned to perfection, serve the Suse Kartoffeln hot, garnished with chopped chives for a pop of color and freshness. These creamy, cheesy potatoes are a delightful side dish that will be a hit with everyone who takes a bite.
These Suse Kartoffeln are sure to become a favorite in your home, offering a cozy and indulgent twist on a classic dish. Whether you’re serving them alongside a roast, grilled chicken, or enjoying them as a standalone snack, these potatoes will bring warmth and comfort to your table. So, grab your ingredients, get cooking, and enjoy the delicious flavors of this creamy delight!
