Smashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives
by Ellie Krieger
These mashed potatoes, excerpted from the cookbook The Food You Crave, are true home-style comfort, smashed so they have a rustic chunkiness and mixed with familiar mashed potato flavors—tangy sour cream and chives.
Serves four.
1-1/4 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 medium), unpeeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, warmed
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1-1/2 Tbs. chopped fresh chives
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Place the potatoes in a steamer basket fitted over a large pot of boiling water. Cover and steam until the potatoes are knife-tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to their pot. Add the warm broth and coarsely mash. Stir in the sour cream and chives, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
