Chive and Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Ingredients
6 to 8 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 tablespoon salt
4 bay leaves
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter
4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions
Put the cut potatoes into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and
add salt and 2 bay leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20

to 30 minutes. Drain well and remove the bay leaves. Meanwhile, in a small pot heat the cream,
butter, garlic, thyme, and remaining bay leaves. While the potatoes are still warm, press them
through a potato ricer or food mill into a mixing bowl. Add the warm cream, straining out the
solids, a bit at a time until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir
in the chives. Serve immediately.
