my granny used to make similar to your recipe but also added a raw egg to the mix. dont know if its safe to do so these days.
I boil my peeled potatoes and drain.
I first mash the potatoes with butter then I add some sour cream, salt and white pepper. If they need to be thinned a bit I add warmed milk a bit at a time with chopped Green onions
When you boil your potatoes, add some diced garlic to the water. When they are fork tender, drain and put back into the pan. (It helps dry out the potatoes) Drop in some butter and stir for a second to coat the bottom of the pan, (helps to stop sticking to the hot pan) and then add some sour cream, shredded cheddar, and milk. Whip it to a creamy consistancy and if you think it needs salt or pepper do it now.
