Feel free to add a little sour cream to these potatoes for extra flavor and richness.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 to 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or freeze-dried minced chives
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons sour cream, optional
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk, warmed
  • salt and pepper, to taste

PREPARATION:

Peel potatoes; cut into chunks and put in a saucepan. Rinse and drain. Cover potatoes with water and boil for about 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan with garlic and chives. Cook over low heat for about 1 minute. Drain and mash the potatoes; beat in sour cream, if using, and then add the butter mixture and milk until desired consistency is reached. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
