Cheesy Garlic And Chive Smashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

4

medium russet or Idaho baking potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb.), unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes

2

garlic cloves, quartered

1/2

cup warm buttermilk or milk

1 1/3

oz. (1/3 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese

1

tablespoon chopped fresh chives or 1 teaspoon freeze-dried chopped chives

1/4

teaspoon salt

Preparation

Place potatoes and garlic in large saucepan; add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover loosely and boil gently 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes break apart easily when pierced with fork. Drain well.

Return potatoes and garlic to saucepan; shake saucepan gently over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Mash potatoes and garlic with back of spoon or potato masher, leaving some potato pieces in chunks. Add all remaining ingredients; mix gently.
