For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns a nutty brown color and smells fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or chives.
If you don't have sour cream on hand, you can substitute it with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
To keep the mashed potatoes warm before serving, place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
