Rexanne’s Heart Attack Mashed Potatoes

Rexanne’s Heart Attack Mashed Potatoes

These are really delicious mashed potatoes and kids love them. I call them “Heart Attack” mashed potatoes because they are loaded with butter – the excess is what makes them outstanding.  “Enough” butter is my secret to awesome mashed potatoes. :-)

Ingredients:

- 3 large potatoes (bakers, I suppose – the brown ones.)
- 1 stick (yeah – a whole stick!) salted butter, cut into 6 pieces
- 2 TBS. sour cream
- 2 tsp. salt

Instructions:

Peel potatoes and cut into bite sized (or a little larger) chunks.

Add cut potatoes to a pot, cover with water and add 2 tsp. salt

Bring potatoes to a boil, reduce heat to medium high – cook for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Drain potatoes well after cooking.

In a large bowl, add cooked and drained potatoes and the butter. Mix well with a hand mixer (can also be mashed with a potato masher)

Add sour cream and mix again until well blended. Serve hot.

Serves 4

If someone at the table is watching their cholesterol, weight, diet, fat intake or whatever, they’re not gonna be happy about these potatoes. Serve them a slice of whole grain bread instead of the mashed potatoes and let everyone else indulge. :-)
