Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled
- 4 tablespoons unsalted European butter (such as Kerrygold)
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub
Directions
Start by prepping the red potatoes. Cut them into quarters, keeping the skins on for extra texture and flavor. Place the potatoes in a large pot, covering them with water until it sits about an inch above the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-high and let the potatoes cook for 10-12 minutes. They’re ready when a fork easily pierces to the center. Drain the water and transfer the hot potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
With the potatoes still hot, add the butter, sour cream, milk, minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons of Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub. For the best, creamy finish, use a hand mixer to blend everything until just combined. If you prefer a more rustic texture, a potato masher will do the trick. Either way, be careful not to over-mix—these potatoes are best with a few lumps.
Once mixed, taste and add Texas Beef BBQ Rub if needed to boost the flavor even more. These mashed potatoes bring a smooth, creamy texture with a savory kick from the peppery, garlicky blend in the rub—perfect for elevating any meal. Enjoy!
