Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 3 teaspoons salt divided
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped

- In a blender, combine the garlic, parsley, herbs, chives, jalapenos (if using), sour cream, and milk. Blend until smooth. If desired, add food coloring until your desired color is achieved.

Notes
- If you are looking for a vibrant green color that your herbs don't quite achieve, add a drop or two of green food coloring to the mix.
- For the smoothest mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer or food mill before adding the herb mixture.
- The great thing about this recipe is that you can mix and match green herbs according to what you like. Try different flavor combinations for a slightly different taste every time.
