Sour Cream & Chive Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes

Sour Cream & Chive Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes are easy enough to make for a busy weeknight and super creamy and delicious.

I generally only make these Sour Cream & Chive Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes during the holidays, but they're so tasty and easy enough to make, I don't know why I don't make them more often.

What are Yukon Gold Potatoes?

Yukon Gold are potatoes that have a smooth skin and yellow flesh. They originated in Ontario, Canada and weren't introduced to the market until 1980.

I like to use these potatoes every now and then as they have a slightly sweet flavor and taste great with added sour cream and chives.

How do you make Sour Cream & chive Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes?

Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into cubes; then add them to a large saucepan.

Cover the potatoes with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat; then cook until potatoes are tender with a fork, approximately 15 minutes.

Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pan; then add the sour cream, butter, chives, salt and pepper. 

Mix together with an electric mixer or potato masher until the butter has melted and most of the lumps are gone.
