Ingredients

4 pounds golden creamer potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Directions

Put the potatoes into a large pot, add the bay leaf, 2 tablespoons salt, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain them well and remove the bay leaf. Meanwhile, heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan. Put the potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a bowl. Add the hot cream and season with salt and pepper. Mix together with a spoon and add the chives.

The creamiest & tastiest!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband is very picky about his mashed potatoes. This recipe was so delicious, I even got a high five from "Mr. Picky"... accross the table! I didn't have the chives, nor the bay leaves and the recipe was still excellent. Highly recommend, will use this recipe everytime! One adjustment I did make, we like garlic mashed potatoes, so I added some garlic! 5 Stars*****Read more

Make Ahead?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So incredibly delicious, always love Tyler's recipes! Gave me another use for the chives I grew. I would like to make this... recipe for my holiday dinners. Is it possible to make them the day before and reheat them? If so, what is the best way to do so. Read more

TYLER KNOWS THE WAY TO MY HEART !
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making these spuds for over 60 years. So, Tyler you have nothing over on me.. However, I am now widowed & Betty... Crocker does it for me...Seeing your recipe makes me want to start this old fashioned way, again. For new cooks, you can't go wrong with this recipe. And you can still tweak it to suit your tastes. I know i always did tweak them, but that's how I cook, iI make all recipes my own. Thanks Tyler for the reminder, I do like your shows............keep it up !Read more

My entire family loves this recipe. The fresh chives really give it awesome flavor, the potatoes don't taste the same without... them. My fiance always asks for the "awesome potatoes".Read more

YUM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My boyfriend and I loved this recipe! We both went back for seconds. It was so rich and creamy (so definitely not an every... day side dish). I didn't have chives, but it was still great without them and I will certainly make this recipe again. No need for gravy or sauce at all. Yum! Yum!Read more
