Skin-On Savory Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes made with skin-on potatoes are just as tasty as those made with peeled potatoes. This is a version of mashed potatoes that my husband actually likes. You can use any type of potatoes and change the amounts of butter, sour cream, and milk to your taste. I like it with russets myself.
