  2. Drain and Return: Drain the vegetables in a colander and return them to the pot over low heat to steam off excess moisture.
  3. Add Flavorful Ingredients: Add broth, salted butter, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, and allow the butter to melt.
  4. Mash to Desired Consistency: Mash the mixture until smooth. If thicker than preferred, gradually incorporate reserved broth.
