Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water. Set temperature to 195 degrees F (91 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Peel potatoes and cut into cubes, no bigger than 3/4 inch. Place potatoes in a single layer inside a large vacuum bag, along with cubed butter, 1/2 cup half-and-half, and sour cream. Ensure potatoes are spread out as much as possible. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer, stopping the sealer early so liquid doesn't escape from the bag.
• Place bag into the water and set timer for 90 minutes. Some air may remain in the bag, and you will need to weigh the bag down with a heavy object to ensure bag is fully submerged. After 45 minutes, remove bag and redistribute potatoes evenly in bag, if needed.
• When timer is up, cut bag open and dump contents into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mash potatoes. Add in additional half-and-half, if needed.
