The utter deliciousness of this Sour Cream & Chive Mashed Potatoes recipe was inevitable.  First, you cook the potatoes in Swanson® Chicken Broth so they're seasoned through and through.  Then you mash the potatoes with light cream, butter, sour cream and chives.  You can pair potatoes with sour cream and chives in many ways, but these mashed potatoes are rich and creamy and tangy and so flavorful that they may be our favorite.  It's so easy to make (done in 30 minutes) and uses only 6 ingredients, so you can make them anytime!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
  • 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potato or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
  • 2/3 cup light cream or half and half
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped chives

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Ingredient Note: A medium-sized Yukon Gold weighs a little less than 8 ounces, so you'd need about 6 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe.
    • Leftover reserved broth can be used when reheating leftover mashed potatoes or stuffing, or stirred into gravy or soup.  Use within 3 days or freeze for later.
  • Step 1

    Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over high heat to a boil, then cover and cook (still on high) for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  • Step 2

    Drain the potatoes, reserving the broth.

  • Step 3

    Mash the potatoes with the light cream, sour cream, butter and chives.  If needed, add some of the reserved broth until the potatoes reach desired consistency.  Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
