Garlic Chive Creamed Potatoes

I love mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes with gravy, plain mashed potatoes, potato rolls made with mashed potatoes; I like it all. I’ll admit that I’m not a huge fan of making gravy. I love eating gravy, but I get frustrated, because I can’t quite seem to get my gravy to taste as good as my mom’s. So, in situations where I need mashed potatoes, but don’t want to make gravy, I make these Garlic Chive Creamed Potatoes. They are the perfect accompaniment to steak, pork chops, roast, chicken and more.

Did you know 7 percent of the U.S. milk supply is turned into butter?

Ingredients

  • ½ pound gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¾ cup chives, chopped
  • Cavender’s Greek Seasoning to taste*

Instructions

  1. Put potatoes in pot of water and heat over medium high heat until boiling. Boil until potatoes are tender and easily skewered with a fork. Drain.
  2. Add garlic, cream, butter, chives and Cavender’s. Beat with hand mixer or immersion blender until creamy. Add more cream if too thick. Serve immediately.

* I used approximately 2 teaspoons of Cavender’s. I recommend adding seasoning and tasting, then adding more if desired.
