- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- Fresh chives for garnish.
Instructions
- Peel all your potatoes carefully.

Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes always.
- They're naturally creamy and buttery.

- Warm ingredients mix better with potatoes.
- Don't over-mix your mashed potatoes.
- This makes them gummy and sticky.
- Add cream slowly to control consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
