I couldn't find my original recipe with for mashed potatoes with sour cream for turned to my trusted source, 'Zaar. I was not disappointed. I sprinkled a bit of black pepper as well. Loved them. Even my picky eater finished her plate. Thanks for posting!

I've been making my mashed potatoes with butter & sour cream for years, but didn't realize there was a recipe on Zaar! I do add salt to the water when cooking my potatoes. In my opinion, sour cream instead of milk wins hands down. These are excellent.
