1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

3
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash them until smooth.
4
Add Butter and Cream
Add the butter and cream to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined and creamy.
5
Season the Mash
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust as necessary.

6
Garnish
Finely chop the chives and fold them into the mashed potatoes. If desired, sprinkle grated cheese and bacon bits on top for extra flavor.
7
Serve
Spoon the mashed potatoes into bowls and enjoy warm as a side dish.
