Recipe Tips

For a healthier option, you can substitute the sour cream for Greek yogurt. This will give the mashed potatoes a tangy flavor and a boost of protein. To add a little bit of extra flavor to your mashed potatoes, try adding in some chopped chives or green onions. This will give the dish a fresh and herbaceous flavor.
