| 2/3 | Cup milk |
| 1/2 | Cup fresh chives |
| 1 | Teaspoon salt |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Potatoes:
- Start by washing and peeling 2 1/2 potatoes, then cut them into chunks for quicker boiling.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the potato chunks. Boil for about 10-12 minutes until they are fork-tender. 🥔
-
Mash Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pan.
- Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes until they reach a smooth consistency.
-
Add Creaminess:
- Now, it’s time to add richness to our mashed potatoes. Add 1 package of cream cheese to the mashed potatoes and blend it in thoroughly. The cream cheese will add a velvety texture and a touch of tanginess to the dish. 😋
-
Incorporate Milk and Chives:
- Pour in 2/3 cup of milk gradually while stirring the mashed potatoes until you achieve the desired consistency. You may need to adjust the amount of milk based on your preference for creaminess.
- Finely chop 1/2 cup of fresh chives and add them to the mashed potatoes. The chives will infuse the dish with a delightful oniony flavor and add a pop of vibrant green color. 🌿
-
Season to Perfection:
- Season the mashed potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, or adjust to taste. The salt will enhance the flavors, while the pepper adds a subtle kick.
-
Final Touch:
- Heat the mashed potatoes on medium heat until they are just warmed through, ensuring all the flavors meld together beautifully. Be careful not to overheat to maintain the creamy texture.
- Once heated, serve the Chive Mashed Potatoes immediately while they are piping hot. They make a perfect side dish for any meal! 🍽️
