Step 1

Peel and cook the potatoes until fork-tender.

Step 2

Mash the potatoes (while hot). You can use a regular potato masher or potato ricer (the potatoes will be slightly more fluffy). Do not mash them for too long or they will be gummy.

Step 3

Add all the other ingredients and stir until well combined (but do not stir for too long). It's important to add the other ingredients while the potatoes are still hot.

Step 4

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Garnish with more chives and melted butter.

Step 6

Enjoy!
