- Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water for 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain well and return to pan.
- Smash potatoes with a masher or fork just until chunky. Stir dip mix, sour cream, chives and pepper into potatoes.
CHEF’S SECRET
For a lighter version, substitute the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt to maintain creaminess while reducing the fat content.
- Substitute fresh parsley or dill for the chives for a different flavour profile that complements the peppers and feta.
- Add a few pieces of crumbled feta on top of the potatoes just before serving.
- Make sure not to overmash the potatoes to preserve a texture that allows the other ingredients to stand out.
