Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

    Cook the Potatoes

    Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Mashing

  1. 4

    Drain the Potatoes

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to release excess steam.

  2. 5

    Add Ingredients

    Transfer the drained potatoes back to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of heavy cream.

  3. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream if needed.

  4. 7

    Add Chives

    Finely chop the fresh chives and fold them into the mashed potatoes for added flavor.
