Jivey Chivey Mashed Red Potatoes Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystic_river1 / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago Red potatoes have such a different almost sweet flavor and a sturdy texture which make them perfect for lumpy mashers. To me, some entrees do well with the smooth taters and others need the oompa lumpas.I hope you will try them.Adapted from CHOW Prep:15m Cook:20m Servings:6	Mystic_rive

Ingredients

3 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2-inch pieces

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter cut into small pieces, at room temperature

1 to 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, at room temperature

1/4 cup finely chopped Italian parsley leaves

1 bunch chives, minced

Directions

Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover them by at least 4 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue boiling until the potatoes can be pierced through the center with a sharp knife, about 20 to 25 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, or they’ll be mushy.

Working quickly, place the potatoes in a colander, shaking it gently to drain excess liquid. Immediately return the potatoes to the pot (but do not put it back on the heat).

Using a rigid whisk or handheld potato masher, break the potatoes into smaller pieces. Mash the butter into the potatoes a few pieces at a time. Make a well in the center of the potatoes and drizzle in the cream, mashing it in until the desired consistency is reached.The potatoes should remain a little lumpy.

Fold the parsley and chives into the potatoes, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
