Make and share this Chive Mashed Potatoes recipe from Food.com.

Provided by looneytunesfan

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes or 2 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup whole milk, warmed
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in salted water for 15-25 munites, or until tender when pierced. Drain, return them to the pot, and dry over medium heat for 1 minute to evaporate excess water.
  • Off heat, mash potatoes in the pot; add butter, milk, chives and seasoning.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes, as they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well when mashed.
  • Make sure to pierce the potatoes with a fork before boiling, as this will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, as overcooked potatoes will become mushy when mashed.
  • Drain the potatoes well before mashing, as excess water will make the potatoes gluey.
  • Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork, but be sure to mash them until they are smooth.
  • Add the chives, butter, sour cream, and milk to the mashed potatoes and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the chive smashed potatoes immediately, garnished with additional chives, if desired.

Conclusion:

Chive smashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, flavorful, and have a beautiful green color from the chives. These potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
