Yield 5-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 cup sour cream
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cracked Black Pepper garnish, recipe follows
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Place potatoes in a bowl and wash under cold, running water until water runs clear. Place in a medium saucepan with salt. Add enough water to generously cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, until soft, about 15 minutes. While potatoes are still warm, mash with a fork, in a food mill, or gently in a food processor.
In a medium saucepan, warm sour cream and butter. Fold warm sour cream mixture into potatoes, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately. Garnish with cracked pepper.
In a small bowl stir all the ingredients together. Spoon over vegetables or drizzle lightly over dressed salads as a garnish.
