directions

  • Put the quartered potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water.
  • Add the salt and 2 of the bay leaves.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender; about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Drain well and remove the bay leaves.
  • Meanwhile, in a small pot, heat the cream, butter, garlic, thyme and remaining 2 bay leaves.
  • While the potatoes are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the warm cream a bit at a time, straining out the solids, until the potatoes are fluffy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, and gently stir in the chives.
  • Serve immediately, and enjoy!

  1. This recipe was great. I hosted a dinner party which was thrown together at the last minute and the potatoes were a hit. In the hustle I forgot bay leaves and pepper but I threw in some blue cheese. It wasn't a strange combo with the chive and garlic and the blue cheese was not over-powering. Everyone loved it.
     
  2. This was excellent! I used 1 tsp of the crushed garlic in a jar and skim milk instead of cream.
