03 Method

Step 1

Cover potatoes, garlic, and salt with cold water in a large pot. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat and simmer (do not boil) until potatoes are very tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife but not falling apart, 20–25 minutes.
Step 2

Meanwhile, heat milk, thyme, and 3/4 cup butter in a small pot over medium, stirring, until butter is melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
Step 3

Drain potatoes and garlic; return to pot. Toss over low heat until moisture evaporates, 1–2 minutes. Using a potato ricer or food mill, immediately press potatoes and garlic into a large bowl (do not let cool).
Step 4

Discard thyme from milk mixture and gradually stir into potatoes, reserving about 1/2 cup if you plan to make in advance.
Step 5

Season with 2 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp pepper. Fold in sour cream and stir with a spoon until incorporated and very smooth (do not overmix or potatoes will become gummy).
Step 6

Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve topped with the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and more pepper.
