INGREDIENTS
  • 3x Medium Idaho Potatoes

  • 1/3 cup Sour Cream  
  • 1 tbsp. (or more) Milk

  • Dash of Smoked Paprika
  • Dash of Cayenne (if you want some heat) 

DIRECTIONS

  3.  Boil Potatoes with a liberal amount of Chachere's for 20 - 25 minutes
  4.  While the potatoes boil, mince Garlic [or just use a garlic press! -2018]
  5.  Strain potatoes and let them sit until steam stops rising from them (about 10 minutes)
  6.  Return Potatoes to pot, and add Garlic, Sour Cream, Butter, plus Chachere's/Salt/Pepper to taste
  7.  MASH IT UP!!!
  8.  Add Milk a little bit at a time until the potatoes are at desired consistency
