Mashed Potatoes with chives & garlic
Enjoy!!! Cheryl
If you don't prefer yukon, you can use all-purpose potatoes, and if garlic isn't your thing, just delete from your recipe. And if heavy cream makes your stomach churn, use buttermilk.

6 to 8 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered 1 tablespoon salt 4 bay leaves 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter 4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed 3 sprigs fresh thyme Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Put the cut potatoes into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add salt and 2 bay leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well and remove the bay leaves. Meanwhile, in a small pot heat the cream, butter, garlic, thyme, and remaining bay leaves. While the potatoes are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a mixing bowl. Add the warm cream, straining out the solids, a bit at a time until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in the chives. Serve immediately. |
