SOUR CREAM MASHED POTATOES
Forget heavy cream, cheese, or any other of those traditional mashed potato enhancers. Sour cream adds tang, body, and a rich creaminess that cannot be matched.

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.

SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE POTATOES
I came up with this dish just the other day when my fiancé asked for a ham that night for dinner. I usually make regular old mashed potatoes with ham, but that night I just didn't feel like it. So I scrambled through my kitchen a bit and came up with these bad boys.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking pan with foil (I use release foil, but if you're not, grease the foil).
- With a really sharp knife (if you know how to do it) or a mandolin, cut the potatoes just about paper thin (like potato chips); place slices in a bowl of water and set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the butter then add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3-5 minutes or until it starts to smell nutty.
- Whisk in the broth and the cream then bring it to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and add the chives, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
- Spread a little of the chive sauce on the bottom of the lines pan then place two layers of potatoes on top of that.
- Spread more of the chive sauce on that, sprinkle with cheese and start again the two layers of potatoes, then the cream sauce, then the cheese (You should get about 4 to 5 layers if the potatoes are really thinly sliced).
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes then remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes (the potatoes should fork tender, and if they're not, just cover them and cook them for another 10-15 minutes).
- Let rest on your counter for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

- For a crispy bacon topping, cook the bacon until it is well-browned and then crumble it.
- To get the most flavor from the chives, chop them finely and add them to the potatoes just before serving.
