Creamy, dreamy, with a hint of green, these Sour Cream & Onion Mashed Potatoes take your classic mashed potatoes to the next level. Velvety gold potatoes are boiled until fork tender and whipped with butter, tangy sour cream, heavy cream, and green onions to create a cloud-like side dish.I love that this is sort of a traditional Thanksgiving dish…and also sort of like an elevated potato chip. And speaking of chips, these mashed potatoes double as an amazing dip. Serve with potato chips for a crunchy contrast. This is a simple side dish that takes next to no time to whip up — so you can spend more time with the people you love this Thanksgiving! Serve with other dishes from our easy Thanksgiving menu.
