Mashed potatoes with sour cream

Ingredients:

• 1.3 kg boiling potatoes, peeled
• 1.5 cups of milk
• 6 tbsp (90 g) butter
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Cut the potatoes into 2.5 cm cubes and place them in a large saucepan. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add enough salt to make the water taste salty. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes flake easily when pierced with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until hot, but do not bring to a boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
3. Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a sieve fitted with a small disc/blade over a glass bowl. Press the potatoes through the sieve, turning the handle back and forth to force the potatoes through the disc. Once the potatoes are mashed, slowly stir in enough of the milk mixture to create a creamy mash. Add 2 teaspoons of salt, sour cream, and pepper and whisk until combined. Taste and serve hot.
