By adding fresh parsley, you enhance the flavor and introduce a burst of freshness that pairs perfectly with the creamy texture of the mashed potatoes. This recipe is perfect for family dinners, holiday feasts, or any occasion where you want to impress with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

2 tsp fresh parsley
2.50g
5 potatoes
1060g
2 tbsp butter
27g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and quarter the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3. Drain the Potatoes:
- Drain the potatoes in a colander, shaking off any excess water.
4. Mash the Potatoes:
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of butter and mash the potatoes using a potato masher or an electric mixer until smooth.
5. Incorporate the Sour Cream:
- Stir in the light sour cream, mixing well until the potatoes are creamy and well combined.
6. Season and Add Parsley:
- Add the finely chopped fresh parsley and a dash of black pepper to the mashed potatoes.
- Stir until the parsley and pepper are evenly distributed throughout.
7. Final Taste and Texture Adjustment:
- Taste the mashed potatoes and add more salt or pepper if needed.
- If the potatoes seem too thick, you can add a splash of milk or additional sour cream to reach your desired consistency.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the parsley mashed potatoes to a serving dish.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of additional chopped parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold for the best texture.

- Be sure to thoroughly wash and peel the potatoes before boiling them.

- Cut the potatoes into even chunks to ensure they cook evenly.

- Be careful not to overcook the potatoes; they should be tender but not falling apart.

- Use a potato masher or ricer for the best, lump-free results.

- For extra creamy mashed potatoes, consider warming the sour cream and butter before adding them.

- Season with salt to taste, and don't be afraid to add a bit more black pepper if you like a little extra kick.

- Garnish with a bit more fresh parsley on top for a bright, appealing presentation.

Parsley mashed potatoes are a simple yet delicious way to elevate your meal. The combination of creamy potatoes, fresh parsley, and light sour cream makes for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
