Despite the recipe's namesake calling for two ingredients, the accompanying infographic illustrated four components necessary to make their simple dish.
The recipe listed two pounds of russet potatoes, 1/4 cup of sour cream, and salt and pepper, and it said to "boil potatoes in salted water until soft" and set aside a cup of the drained hot water for stirring back into the mashed taters, one tablespoon at a time.
The final instructions read, "Add sour cream, salt and pepper."
