I've tried making mashed potatoes before and they came out gummy and nasty but these were great. I was a little hesitant to use 2c of cream but it's so worth it. These are the best potatoes ever! I forgot to add the chives but it didn't matter they tasted great. I'll definetly make these again.

I am commiting this recipe to memory. So easy and so creamy, easily the best side dish at my thanksgiving dinner this year. I ate them cold out of the fridge the next day and they were still super creamy.

Also, I was a fan of using a good amount of white pepper instead of black pepper.

I usually use vegan margarine and plain soy milk to make mashed potatoes. Well, you can imagine how much more rich and creamy these were! It was a little over indulgent but perfect for Thanksgiving. I forgot the chives, but everyone agreed it didn't really matter because they were super tasty either way.

These mashed potatoes made me cry.... when they were gone!

Used heavy whipping cream and chives, incredible.

Made 2-3 times what I thought people would be able to stuff down on thanksgiving hoping for plenty of leftovers.... only had a spoonful or two leftover for my breakfast thanksgiving sandwich the next morning.

I doubt I'll every stray from this recipe.

Rather than using the ricer, I just mixed them up in small batches in the kitchen aid until creamy.

Mashed potatoes are ...'mashed potatoes'. These, however...went like hotcakes!! So delightfully simple & delicious with or without gravy (we included them as part of our Thanksgiving Dinner. The chives added that special flare of presentation. I actually peeled and allowed the potatoes to sit in cold water overnight (which I believe assisted in pulling the starch from them - made them that ultimate creamy, wholesome sort of side you expect with a traditional turkey dinner.... :. We had twelve guests for dinner...I doubled the recipe (using buttercream organic potatoes and didn't have ONE serving leftover. Mind you, I prepared a 21 lb. bird with all the traditional fixings (dressing, gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries, bread, tossed salad and desserts. We started with a heavy appetizer, too - assorted cheese and crackers. Just awesome!

Very little was left for leftovers. The cream really made these potatoes. They were light, airy and delicious.

This is now my preferred recipe for mashed potatoes.

I never make boxed mashed potatoes--usually just "smashed" with the skin on for my husband and myself. I make it very simple by keeping an eye on the texture and seasoning to taste.
I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time yesterday so I wanted something foolproof. This recipe delivered!
I did make a few changes based on what I had on hand. Instead of cream, I used fat free half and half. I also reduced the amount of salt in the water for cooking to about a tablespoon. I think next time I make them, I'll add a little more of whatever milk I have on hand since they were a little bit stiffer than I would prefer.
Overall, fantastic!

Everybody loved them!!! The chives really added that extra wow. I have to admit though, I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I ran out of heavy cream so I used some half and half and buttermilk, but they were awesome!!! Definitely a keeper!

We followed the recipe except used yellow skin potatoes, and added some sour cream. The potatoes were absolutely delicious!
