Ingredients

8 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered (about 6 pounds)
2 teaspoons salt
2-1/2 cups 2% milk
1/2 cup butter, cubed
3 teaspoons garlic salt

Drain potatoes, then shake over low heat for 1-2 minutes to dry. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or beat with a mixer; gradually add milk mixture. Stir in sour cream. Stir in additional milk to thin if desired. Sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 18 servings (3/4 cup each).
