Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • Salt & pepper
  • 6 Tbsp butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Cook over moderate heat for 1 minute, shaking the pot to dry the potatoes.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter in the cream. Working over the saucepan, pass the hot potatoes through a ricer or food mill. Stir with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the chives.
