Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1/4 pound unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a 4-quart saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 to 35 minutes, until the potatoes are completely tender. Drain.
- In a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half and butter.
- Put the potatoes into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix them for a few seconds on low speed to break them up. Slowly add the hot cream and butter to the potatoes, mixing on the lowest speed (the last quarter of the cream and butter should be folded in by hand). Fold in the sour cream, Parmesan cheese and the remaining salt and pepper; taste for seasoning and serve immediately. If the potatoes are too thick, add more hot cream and butter.

Reviews
My go to recipe to accompany roasted prime rib for many Christmas dinners. Everyone loves it!!
I’m sure they taste yummy, but with 9 grams of saturated fat per serving, no thank you! (This cook is not looking to clog my arteries.)
Love this recipe!
Smashed mashed… if you read the recipe you can tell what you’re going to end up with and they’re DELICIOUS 🙂
These are the fastest, easiest smashed/mashed potatoes Ive ever made…Fabulous!!
This is NOT SMASHED POTATOES. This is MASHED POTATOES!
SMASHED POTATOES is when you take ONE POTATO and you SMASH IT.
IT’S VERY DIFFERENT!!!
It was soooo good
Loved this recipe!!! So easy and makes a lot! I mashed the potatoes in the pot with just a wooden spoon and it turned out great.
I skipped the mixer ..used a potato masher instead to mash the potatoes in the pot. Added the half and half and butter directly to the pot (without heating) with parm, sour cream etc (saved on washing extra eqiupment). I added a little dry minced garlic, onion powder, and fresh chopped parsley at the end.
Delicious! This was a big hit at Thanksgiving!
