Ingredients:

  1. 4 pounds - Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1
  2. - coarse salt
  3. 1 3/4 cups - half-and-half

  6. 2 tablespoons - chives fresh, chopped, plus more for garnish

Directions:

STEP 2

STEP 3
In a small saucepan, combine half-and-half and butter; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour half of hot liquid over potatoes. Mash just until smooth, adding more liquid to reach desired consistency. Stir in parsley and chives; season with salt. Garnish with more herbs.
