Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, quartered and cut into 1-inch chunks
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cover the potatoes with 1 inch of cold water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. In a small pot over low heat combine half-and-half and butter. Heat until hot but not simmering.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander, tossing to remove any excess water. Wipe the saucepan dry. Add the potatoes back to the saucepan and mash to a uniform consistency (or process through a food mill back into the dry pot). Give it a quick mix with a hand mixer to incorporate some air and ensure a smooth texture. Do not overmix or potatoes will become gummy.
  • Using a flexible rubber spatula, fold in the melted butter and half-and-half mixture until just incorporated. Fold in sour cream and 1/4 cup chives and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives.

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
4 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for cooking potatoes

  • If you don't have a potato ricer, use a fork or potato masher and mash the potatoes until they are smooth.

  • To add extra flavor to the mashed potatoes, try adding some roasted garlic, sautéed mushrooms, or crumbled bacon.
  • If you're using low-fat sour cream, you may want to add a little bit of butter or olive oil to the mashed potatoes to make them creamier.
