Instructions

Cook the Potatoes:

In a 3-quart stock pot, add the potato chunks. Pour in enough cold or room temperature water to cover the potatoes well. Add in 3 to 4 teaspoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil using medium heat. Cook the potatoes until a fork or pairing knife pierce through the potatoes quite easily.
Note: For the lumpy texture you don't want the potatoes to become mushy.
2 large russet potatoes, water and kosher salt

Meantime prepare the milk mixture:

In a small saucepan, add the milk, butter, garlic and half the parsley. Bring to a low simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer until just fragrant - about 1 to 2 minutes.
1/2 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 large cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves only

Make the mashed potatoes:

Drain the potatoes and discard the water. Add back the potatoes to the same pot. Use a potato masher and mash the potatoes to the slightly chunky texture you prefer.
Note: If you prefer a smooth texture, pass the potatoes through a potato ricer.
Pour in the milk mixture. Use the potato masher to mix in the mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add in the sour cream. Mix to combine thoroughly. Taste and add in salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
1/2 cup sour cream, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley of desired. Serve with your desired gravy and protein. Enjoy!
