Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 6 medium red potatoes, peeled and chopped into about 1 inch pieces

Water

• 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon garlic salt
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
• 4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted, full-fat butter
• 1/2 Cup milk
• 1/2 Cup sour cream

Directions

1. 1. In medium pot, cover the chopped potatoes with just enough water to cover them.
2. 2. Cook potatoes over high heat for 20 to 25 minutes (start to finish) or until the potatoes are fork tender (fork slides easily in and out of potatoes). (Keep an eye on the pot after the water begins to boil. You may have to turn the heat down to medium to keep them from boiling over.)
3. 3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
4. 4. Add garlic salt (amount is based on personal preference), pepper (amount is based on personal preference here, too), parsley, butter, milk and sour cream (if using) and mash potatoes with a potato masher until desired consistency.
5. Yields about six or so 1 Cup servings.
