- Potato Ricer: drain the cooked potatoes and run them through a potato ricer.
- Combine: transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix to fully combine. Taste and add any additional salt, butter, etc - as desired. Add additional splashes of cream to reach desired consistency.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately!
Notes

- Cream/Dairy-Free: option to use regular heavy cream or a dairy free version. We love Silk's Heavy Whipping Cream Alternative!
- Storage: keep leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
