Ingredients

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup whole milk

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 tbsp unsalted butter

2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

1 tsp salt, or to taste

1/2 tsp black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream, milk, garlic, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not boil.

Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot.

Pour the warm cream mixture over the potatoes and mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the chives, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Serve immediately.

Final Notes

These creamy mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for roasted chicken, steak, or pork. Garnish with extra chives or a pat of butter for an elegant touch.
