Instructions

  • Wash and quarter 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes. You do not need to peel them but can if you prefer.
  • Boil potatoes in enough water to cover potatoes until potatoes are tender (they should start to break apart when poked with a fork). Drain water and return potatoes to the pot.
  • Add 6 tablespoons butter, 2 cups sour cream, and Adobo seasoning to taste.
  • Mash with a potato masher or large fork, adding ยฝ to 1 cup milk as preferred for consistency. If you like very creamy mashed potatoes you can use a mixer to get a good whipped consistency. If you like lumpy potatoes, use a fork or potato masher to maintain a more solid consistency.
  • Place potatoes in a serving dish if desired.
  • Top with 2 tablespoons butter before serving.
