Remove any spots, lumps or knots.<\/li><li>Place potatoes in a large pot (6-quart) and cover with cold, salted water by an inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat down to medium-low and allow to simmer until fork tender (about 15-20 minutes).<\/li><li>When potatoes are just about done (nearly fork-tender), heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat. Saut\u00e9 garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Set aside and keep warm.<\/li><li>Drain cooked potatoes, add in the remaining butter, cooked garlic, hot milk and sour cream.<\/li><li>Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth, adding a little extra milk if needed. (OPTIONAL: Use a strong wooden spoon OR electric beaters to beat further until smooth. Be careful NOT to over beat or they will become gluey.)<\/li><li>Add in the parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-southern-lady-cooking wp-block-embed-southern-lady-cooking\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"8V8yNtN1jB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/?p=837\">Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Sage Butter Sauce<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Sage Butter Sauce&#8221; &#8212; Southern Lady Cooking\" src=\"https:\/\/southernladycooking.com\/?p=837&#038;embed=true#?secret=sqfuBT4uvc#?secret=8V8yNtN1jB\" data-secret=\"8V8yNtN1jB\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take your sides up a notch with these Easy Mashed Potatoes.
