20 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced 4 cups (2 pounds or 8 sticks) unsalted butter 1 quart heavy cream Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup chives, chopped In a large saucepan boil the potatoes until fork tender, drain all the liquid and return to saucepan. Smash together with a potato masher removing all the lumps. Add the butter and heavy cream, a little at a time, until you reach the required consistency. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and serve garnished with chopped chives. Note: Just before finishing you could add any other flavorings desired!
