Ingredients

20 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced

4 cups (2 pounds or 8 sticks) unsalted butter

1 quart heavy cream

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chives, chopped

Directions

In a large saucepan boil the potatoes until fork tender, drain all the liquid and return to saucepan. Smash together with a potato masher removing all the lumps.

Add the butter and heavy cream, a little at a time, until you reach the required consistency. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and serve garnished with chopped chives.

Note: Just before finishing you could add any other flavorings desired!
