"These potatoes are so light and fluffy and delicious. Try them and see for yourself... NOTE: If you use anything other than large potatoes cut down on the sour cream and milk, but still use the eggs. DO NOT leave out the eggs. The eggs are what make the potatoes fluffy. The eggs do get cooked when they are mixed up into the potatoes. For best results, use a potato masher. If you over beat them with an electric mixer, they will get gooey and starchy as the gluten breaks down, and they won't be light and fluffy."
