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

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.

Add the hot cream and season with salt and pepper. Mix together with a spoon and add the chives.

I do without the bay leaf and I add more salt. This recipe is better than most and it leaves out the nasty garlic and potato peels that so many people seem to love.

I mixed half Russet potatoes and half Yukon Gold potatoes. Held together nicely. Big crowd ate every last bite.

Nothing fancy about it. Potatoes, cream and butter. But the key is the ratio of cream/butter and potatoes I guess. It is very smooth and creamy to almost melt-in-your-mouth. I didn't put gravy on mine. I didn't need to!! I didn't want to mess up the taste with salty gravy. ; Love it.
