Make the Mashed Potatoes

Step 23

Cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks.

Step 24

Bring a medium pot with potato chunks covered by water to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.

Step 25

Reserve ½ cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot.

Step 26

Add sour cream, 2 Tbsp. potato cooking water, and garlic salt. Mash until smooth. If too thick, add remaining potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Cover and set aside.

Step 27

While potatoes boil, prepare mushrooms and form meatballs.
