Everyone's going to ask to please pass the potatoes over and over again over these buttery, garlicky, creamy, smooth, deeeelicious garlic mashed potatoes!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red potatoes (peeled if desired (see note))
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder (to taste)
  • 1-2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper (or 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper)

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the potatoes (see directions for stovetop or Instant Pot methods below).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl combine hot (drained) potatoes, butter, milk, sour cream, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Use a potato masher OR use your hand mixer (my favorite method!) to mix your potatoes just until all ingredients are combined - your potatoes should still have a few lumps, do not over-mix!

  4. 4

    Taste, add salt and pepper if needed. Serve and enjoy!

  5. 5

    Cut the potatoes into quarters. Place in a large pot and cover with water (water should come 1 inch above potatoes. Bring to a boil over HIGH heat, once boiling reduce heat to medium-high. Boil for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced to the center by a fork. Drain the water and transfer potatoes to a large bowl.

  6. 6

    Place metal rack in the bottom of your pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water, then place potatoes on metal rack. Cover, set vent to SEAL position. Set to PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL for 8 minutes. Once cook time is up, quick release by turning knob to the VENT position. Once float valve has dropped, remove lid, drain pot, and transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
