Mashed Potatoes

Serves 6 to 8

2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 cup sour cream
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cracked black pepper, for garnish

Place potatoes in a bowl and wash under cold, running water until water runs clear. Place in a medium saucepan with salt. Add enough water to generously cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, until soft, about 15 minutes. While potatoes are still warm, mash with a fork, in a food mill, or gently in a food processor.

In a medium saucepan, gently warm sour cream and butter. Fold warm sour cream mixture into potatoes, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately. Garnish with cracked black pepper.
