Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    Heat the Cream and Butter

    In a small saucepan, combine the butter and heavy cream. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted.

  5. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are tender, drain and return them to the pot. Add the melted butter and cream mixture, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Mix and Serve

    Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped fresh chives before serving.
