Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into large, even chunks.
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1/4 tsp salt to the water.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a moment to steam dry, getting rid of excess moisture.
- Begin mashing the potatoes with a potato masher or use a potato ricer for a smoother texture.
- While the potatoes are still hot, in a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm (do not let it boil).
- Gradually add the warmed milk to the mashed potatoes and continue mashing until they reach your desired consistency.
- Add the olive oil and butter, continuing to mash and mix until they are fully incorporated.
- Stir in 1.25 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp black pepper, adjusting to taste if needed.
- Finely chop the chives and parsley. Add them to the mashed potatoes, folding gently to evenly distribute the herbs throughout.
- Give the mashed potatoes one final stir to ensure everything is well combined.
- Serve hot, garnishing with a few extra chopped chives or parsley if desired.
Tips:
- For the best texture, use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds. They will mash smoothly and soak up the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Finely chop the chives and parsley to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes. Fresh herbs release more flavor, so avoid using dried ones if possible.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature or slightly melted, and warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes. This will help to keep the mashed potatoes smooth and creamy.
- Taste the mashed potatoes before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. The amount of salt and pepper can be varied to your taste preference.
- When mashing the potatoes, use a potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer. Avoid using a food processor as it can overwork the potatoes and make them gluey.
This chive and parsley mashed potatoes recipe is a wonderful way to elevate your ordinary mashed potatoes with fresh herbs and rich flavors. The combination of creamy potatoes with the aromatic chives and parsley creates a dish that is both comforting and sophisticated. Serve this as a side dish at your next meal and enjoy the compliments from your guests!
