Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they're both starchy and flavorful. Avoid waxy potatoes like red potatoes, as they won't mash as well.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they're tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and difficult to mash.
  • Use plenty of butter and milk: The butter and milk will help to make the potatoes creamy and flavorful. Don't skimp on these ingredients!
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for mashed potatoes. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as chives, parsley, or rosemary.
  • Mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy: Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy. Avoid using a blender or food processor, as this will make the potatoes gluey.

These chive smashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal. They're creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. Plus, they're a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give these chive smashed potatoes a try!
