4. In small saucepan, add half n half, butter, & sour cream. Heat just until warm. Do not boil.
5. While cream sauce is heating mash up the potatoes. I prefer to use a whisk!When potatoes are mashed add in the cream mixture a little at a time, stirring after each addition.Use the reserved chicken broth and/or half n half to thin out your potatoes to the perfect consistency. I like mine thick and creamy so I usually only add in a few tablespoons of half nhalf and chicken broth. I usually add in about 3-4 tablespoons of butter as well. AGAIN my preference
6. Now add in a few seasonings. I like to use paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt & pepper. This seasoning combo taste so good on potatoes to me. Feel free to use what you like! My sister likes Chives and parsley so to herw i add that and she states that it's good as well.
7. Add the seasonings in a little at a time and taste after each addition to make sure it is perfectly seasoned to your liking and Enjoy 💚
