These creamy, fluffy, kid-friendly mashed potatoes get their texture from butter, milk, and a touch of sour cream. If you're looking to try something just a little different, replace a few potatoes with celeriac (also known as celery root). Most kids love the sweet flavor, and celeriac is full of vitamins. For the fluffiest, lump-free potatoes, it's worth investing in a food mill or potato ricer. You won't be disappointed with the results.
Ingredients:
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
2. Press potatoes through a food mill or potato ricer into a large bowl. Add butter, stirring until melted. Stir in milk and remaining ingredients.
3. Tip: If you want to make these mashed potatoes a few hours ahead of time, simply keep them warm over a double boiler on very low heat. Keep in mind that you may need to add a little milk before serving if the consistency becomes too thick.
