Creamy Chive Mashed Potatoes

Serves 6
The luscious creaminess comes from mascarpone cheese. Tossing chopped chives in at the end adds just a hint of onion flavor. Mashed potatoes are a universal comfort food that unites us all.

  • 6 Idaho or russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
