Garlic & Chive Mashed Potatoes

Old-fashioned comfort food at its best. For Basic Mashed Potatoes, omit the garlic and chives.

Makes 7 cups (12 servings)

3pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes 4–6 cloves garlic, peeled and halved

2teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1teaspoon white wine vinegar

34cup whole milk

12cup half-and-half

3tablespoons unsalted butter

12cup (14 ounce) chopped fresh chives

14teaspoon freshly ground white or black pepper

Peel the potatoes and cut in 34-inch- thick slices. Place the potatoes, garlic, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and wine vinegar in a 334 quart saucepan* and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Cover loosely and bring to the boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium high and boil gently until potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 18–22 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, combine milk, half-and-half, butter, and 14 cup of the chives in

a Cuisinart® 112–quart saucepan. Simmer over low heat until butter is completely melted. Keep warm.

Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic, return to the saucepan, and place over low heat for 1 minute. Remove from the

heat, and use Speed 1 to mash the potatoes and garlic until somewhat smooth, about 60 seconds. While still mixing, add the hot milk and butter mix- ture, and mix until well blended, about 30 seconds. Mix on Speed 3 until fluffy, about 1–2 minutes. Add the remaining salt and pepper, mix to blend, 15 sec- onds. Scrape down sides of pan with rubber spatula as necessary. Transfer the potatoes to a warm serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining chopped chives. Serve immediately.
