Everyone goes crazy for these potatoes and I can't blame them. They're creamy and rich but the fresh herbs give them a really fresh taste. I really love the color and texture that the skins from the potatoes give the mash, and it also means less work because you get to skip the peeling!

I found this gem in a cookbook called Festive Recipes for the Holidays. Gave it some personal tweaks. Like more garlic. Can one have too much garlic? I don't think so! (Unless you're a vampire!)

This is about as simple as it gets: classically prepared mashed potatoes - just potatoes, milk, butter and salt - get a generous handful of pretty chives stirred in. Be sure to add plenty of salt, and taste as you go; good mashed potatoes rely on it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: The best potatoes for mashing are starchy potatoes, such as russets or Yukon Golds. These potatoes will give you a smooth and creamy mash.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To ensure that your potatoes are cooked through, boil them until they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Mash the potatoes immediately: Once the potatoes are cooked, mash them immediately to prevent them from becoming gummy.
  • Use a potato ricer: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest and creamiest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher.
  • Add milk and butter gradually: When adding milk and butter to the mashed potatoes, do so gradually and stir constantly to prevent the potatoes from becoming lumpy.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as chives or basil, to give the mashed potatoes a more flavorful taste.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With these tips, you can make the perfect mashed potatoes that are sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious side dish, give mashed potatoes a try!
