I have made many different versions of mashed potatoes over the years, and thought I had seen it all. I was amazed at how much richer the texture and flavor is with the addition of sour cream. I had to peel them, however; I have never liked skins in my mash. I tinkered a bit with the milk:sour cream ratio, and think I now have the perfect combo to serve for Thanksgiving.11/27/08
