Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds large Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
3 large scallions, finely chopped
Several dashes of Tabasco
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and add 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes. Return them to the saucepan and shake over high heat for about 30 seconds to dry them out. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes with the butter, leaving in some small lumps. Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream and scallions and season with Tabasco, kosher salt and pepper.
