Prepared just like traditional gold or white potatoes, these will surprise and delight your Thanksgiving guests (without even trying!).

INGREDIENTS
Real salt and black pepper, to taste
4 lbs blue potatoes washed
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup sour cream
Optional: 3 minced garlic cloves
Fresh Parsley, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Boil whole blue potatoes in a large saucepan with abundant salted water until they become fork tender. Drain and return to pot.
In a smaller saucepan, heat the milk or cream and butter together, and add garlic powder and optional minced fresh garlic cloves.
Using a masher or ricer, mash the potatoes
Add the hot milk and butter, along with sour cream, and mix until creamy. Test for seasoning and add more salt if needed. If the puree is too stiff, add some more milk and butter.
Serve with your turkey, rolls, green beans, cranberries, sweet potatoes, greens, and cider! Enjoy!
