A modern and lighter version of traditional Scottish Champit Tatties, using light or fat-free sour cream in place of the usual heavy double cream. Easy, one-pan dish! For variation, top with skirlie - oats fried in butter, or crumbled crisp bacon.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and saute potatoes, turning to coat.
- Stir in the chives and just enough water to keep potatoes from sticking to the pan.

- Mash potatoes in the pot (no need to drain); stir in salt & pepper to taste, and the sour cream.
- Serve Champit Tatties hot & garnished with snipped fresh parsley, or top with skirlie - oats fried in butter or crisp crumbled bacon, as desired.
