Ingredients
| Idaho baking potatoes | 3 Large , unpeeled, washed and cut into chunks | |
| Salt | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Butter/Margarine | 1/4 Cup (4 tbs) (Half Stick) | |
| Sour cream | 8 Ounce | |
| Green onion tops | 1 Bunch (100 gm) , washed, dried, and sliced | |
| Paprika | To Taste |
Directions
Pour water into a medium to large pot, until it is half full. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bring water to a boil. Add prepared potato chunks. Cook for about 20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender, but not mushy. Drain potatoes through a colander into the sink and discard the cooking water. Place the cooked potatoes back into the cooking pot. Add 1/2 stick butter or margarine and 8 oz. sour cream. Mash by hand with a potato masher. (If you do not have a potato masher, you may use a fork to mash the potatoes.) When "smashed" to your desired consistency, add the sliced bunch of onion tops. Stir until the mixture is combined, and then pour it into a nice serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with paprika, to taste. Serve immediately while hot and tasty!
