1 Video | Photo: Chive and Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Directions
Put the cut potatoes into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, in a small pot heat the cream, butter, garlic, and thyme. While the potatoes are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Stir in the warm cream a bit at a time, straining out the solids, until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently fold in the chives. Serve immediately.

YUM YUM YUM! I did add extra melted butter after the fact and a bit more half-and-half as well as few more cloves of garlic and it was FABULOUS!

Delicious! I accidentally mixed the chives in with the cream and warmed the mixture on low for 10-15 minutes (I just realized I did it wrong when I went to write this review. Also, I didn't have cream so I used half a cup of nonfat milk and half a cup of half-and-half; the potatoes were rich and creamy--definitely not lacking in flavor; I'm almost glad that I mixed the chives in prematurely! Great recipe!

Excellent! Fixed these with Tylers Smothered Pork Chops and everything was fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly and would not change a thing!
