Creamy Chive Mashed Potatoes

Source of Recipe

From "Mad Hungry: Cravings" by Lucinda Quinn


Recipe Introduction

"The luscious creaminess comes from mascarpone cheese. Tossing chopped chives in the end adds just a hint of onion flavor. Mashed potatoes are a universal comfort food that unites us all."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 6 russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and halved
â—¦ Salt
â—¦ 1 cup whole milk, warmed
â—¦ 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
â—¦ ¼ cup chopped fresh chives


Recipe

Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Season generously with salt, bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 40 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Using a potato masher, mash them with the warm milk until smooth.

Fold in the mascarpone and chives, and season with 1 teaspoon salt.
