  3. In the same pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Whisk in garlic powder, pepper, and seasoned salt. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Gold potatoes are ideal for their creamy texture. You can skip peeling them if you prefer.
  • Tip 2: Use full-fat sour cream for the best results, as lighter versions may break or become watery.
  • Tip 3: Store leftover Creamed Potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Tip 4: Reheat on the stove over low heat, stirring often, and add a splash of milk or cream if needed to smooth out the texture.
