Tangy Chived Potatoes
I
don’t like anything white and creamy.
(Get your minds out of the gutters.)
That
includes mayonnaise (the devil’s jizz), cottage cheese, plain yogurt and of
course, sour cream.
However,
if disguised properly I WILL actually eat sour cream. I really enjoy the tangy flavor it gives to
savory dishes and the moist level it brings to desserts. But for the love of God, don’t let me see
it. I will gag and it’s just a total
overreaction that people stare at me for.
My
kid loves mashed potatoes. I gotta be
honest, I get sick of regular mashed potatoes.
I wanted to do something different and to bump up the flavor.
I
was not disappointed and neither will you be.
These mashed potatoes are level AWESOME.
You might even replace your regular mashed potatoes from now on. Trust me, I’m fat.
Tangy Chived Potatoes
Serves: 4-6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
3
pounds red potatoes (I kept skin on)
1
TBSP of salt – for boiling potatoes
1/3
cup sour cream
½
cup or 1 stick salted butter
1/4
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
1
tsp black pepper
1
tsp salt
2
TBSP chives, plus more for garnish
Method
Chop
potatoes into one and a half inch chunks.
Add the potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt to a pot and cover potatoes with
cold water until it reaches about two inches above the potatoes. Cover and bring to a boil over medium high
heat. Once potatoes have come to a boil,
reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until fork tender.
Drain
potatoes. Add sour cream, butter,
chives, salt and pepper.
With
a hand mixer or stand mixer beat on low until well combined. Start to stream in the heavy cream until you
reach your desired consistency. For more
firm potatoes, only add 1/4 cup. For
more creamy potatoes go ahead and add a half a cup.
Enjoy! As always, get your asses in the kitchen!!
