Of course there are fancier ways to make mashed potatoes with garlic and sour cream, but this recipe is for when you want a no-fuss dinner, but are still craving some comfort food.

Any kind of potato will do, the only rule is to heat up your milk and butter before adding it to your hot, freshly strained potatoes. Adding cold milk will cool the potatoes down, and will result in a heavy and hard-to-blend mash.
