Ingredients
2 pounds russet baking potatoes, unpeeled and cubed
½ cup butter
¼ cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 teaspoons dried basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
Add butter to the bowl; use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash potato mixture until mostly smooth. Add milk and sour cream; continue mashing to desired texture. Be careful not to overmix potatoes once they are creamy.
Stir garlic and basil into mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
