What to Do

Cut raw potatoes into roughly equally sized pieces.
Bring ~12 cups of water to a boil; add cut raw potatoes; boil ~15 minutes, until a potato piece breaks apart when poked with a fork.
Drain potatoes, return to hot kettle; add butter; use a potato masher OR a mixer until butter is mixed in and potatoes are lumpy but mashed.
Add milk, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix vigorously until well combined and a bit “fluffy”.
Variations If serving with gravy or sauce, you may wish to omit garlic; procedure remains the same. Ugly mashed This term can refer to two things, or both: 1) unpeeled potatoes; 2) hand mashed; a bit lumpy.
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder ≈ 1 clove pressed garlic ≈ ½ teaspoon minced garlic
