Instructions:
- Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
- Peel the potatoes using a potato peeler and rinse them again to ensure they are clean.
- Cut the peeled potatoes into uniform chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance flavor.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Once the potatoes are tender (you can check by piercing them with a fork), drain them in a colander.
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork until they reach your desired consistency (smooth or slightly chunky).
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes, stirring it in until fully combined.
- Fold in the finely chopped chives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mash.
- Taste the mashed potatoes and add salt and pepper as needed. You can also add a little butter or a splash of milk/cream if you prefer a creamier texture.
- Transfer the Parmesan and chive mashed potatoes to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with a few extra chopped chives on top for a pop of color.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish to your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Select starchy potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold for a fluffier mash.
- Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked and tender before mashing to avoid lumps.
- For an extra creamy texture, consider adding a splash of milk or a dollop of butter while mashing.
- Warm the milk or butter before adding it to the potatoes to maintain the mash's temperature.
- Fresh chives provide the best flavor, so use them if possible. Dried chives can be a substitute, but fresh is preferred.
