Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

Great side dish to have with steak or pork chops. These are quick and easy! They do require that you hand mash with a potato masher (or the bottom of a glass); they are my daughter's favorite side dish..she ALWAYS wants them.

1. Peel potatoes (leaving a small amount of skin on), dice into small pieces and place into a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.

2. While potatoes are cooking, mix sour cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.

3. When potatoes are done, strain them in a colander and add to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Using your potato masher, mash the potatoes but leave some small lumps.

4. Top with chives, serve immediately.
