Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions:

1. Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
4. Add the softened butter, warmed milk, and sour cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
