Mom's Mashed Potatoes

Leaving the skins on adds a unique and delicious flavor and texture, but feel free to peel the potatoes first for a creamier end result.

Especially with soft potatoes like red and yukon gold, be careful not to over mash or the texture can become gluey. (No blenders or electric mixers!)

Replace with Russet potatoes if desired, but the flavor will be less buttery.

Add up to 1/4 cup sour cream for an even creamier texture and flavor.
