01 Information
  • Grade easy
  • Serving 8 servings
  • Prep Time 15 Mins
  • Cook Time 30 Mins
  • Total Time 45 Mins
02 Ingredients
    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • 3/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, divided
    • 4 sprigs thyme
    • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
    • 2 tbsp. kosher salt, divided
    • 6 large garlic cloves, peeled
    • 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 2" pieces
03 Method
  • Step 1
    Cover potatoes, garlic, and salt with cold water in a large pot. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat and simmer (do not boil) until potatoes are very tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife but not falling apart, 20–25 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, heat milk, thyme, and 3/4 cup butter in a small pot over medium, stirring, until butter is melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Step 3
    Drain potatoes and garlic; return to pot. Toss over low heat until moisture evaporates, 1–2 minutes. Using a potato ricer or food mill, immediately press potatoes and garlic into a large bowl (do not let cool).
  • Step 4
    Discard thyme from milk mixture and gradually stir into potatoes, reserving about 1/2 cup if you plan to make in advance.
  • Step 5
    Season with 2 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp pepper. Fold in sour cream and stir with a spoon until incorporated and very smooth (do not overmix or potatoes will become gummy).
  • Step 6
    Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve topped with the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and more pepper.
