How to Make Perfect No-Peel Mashed Potatoes
Do you avoid making mashed potatoes because you hate peeling the potatoes? This no-peel mashed potato recipe utilizes red potatoes, which have a thin, red skin that doesn’t require peeling. I’d never seen a red potato until I moved to South Carolina. They’re used in many popular Lowcountry recipes. They provide a creaminess and texture to the mashed potatoes that you can’t get by using any other type of potato.
Ingredients:
- 9 medium-sized red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- a splash of milk
Directions:
Wash and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them until soft.
Drain the potatoes, then place in a large bowl. Add butter, sour cream and salt. Mix on medium speed. I like mine slightly chunky.
Add a splash of milk, then mix them some more. You don’t want them to be dry, but you also want to be careful not to add too much liquid. You can always add more milk, but you can never take it away once it’s been added. That sounds like a riddle.
add a splash of milk
You’re all done! I served mine with pork tenderloin and green beans.

Yummy! Looks delicious ?
Thanks, Janine!
Hey Kristie! I use sour cream in my mashed potatoes too! And yes, red potatoes are very popular in the South. I make mashed potatoes with my home canned red potatoes and they are so very yummy!
I do make mashed potatoes a few times per month in my house!
My favorite kind are with the red peelings too!
I love potatoes too much, particularly mashed.
thanks for sharing!

I love NOT peeling the potatoes.
Until now I always peeled the potatoes, I had no idea I didn’t really had to. Trying your way next time. Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party this week. Pinned
I hope you try the red potatoes! You can cut them up the same way for potato salad.
So much easier than peeling! Thank you for the recipe.
You’re welcome, Terri!

Thanks, Helen, me too!
