Amazing Mashed Potatoes
5 lb potatoes
1/2-1 cube butter
1 cup milk
3/4 cup sour cream
salt
pepper
Peel and cut potatoes, then boil in salted water until they break apart when pierced with a fork. Meanwhile, place butter and milk in a microwavable bowl and heat until butter is completely melted. When potatoes are done, drain well and return to pan. Add butter/milk mixture, sour cream, and pepper to the potatoes (I usually don't add salt at this point. I wait until they are smashed, then taste-test them to see how much more salt they need after cooking in the salted water). Mash with a potato masher. Add more salt if needed, then serve.
