mmmm sounds yummy! We love chives and the hint of onion they give foods.

I cook whole garlic cloves with the potatoes, drain them together and then mash it all up with butter, milk and sometimes a bit of sour cream. just right for garlic lovers like us

Love love Love CHIVES! Thanks for the recipe on how you do mashed potatoes. Since I had to go gluten free two years ago, I eat so much more potatoes then I used to. My mashed potatoes were getting a little boring, yours looks so much better!!! Robin~♥ .-= Robin Beck´s last blog ..Oh Yeah, It Counts~♥ =-.

My mother always grew chives in her garden; I love them. Too cold where I live to have fresh chives from mine right now. I did see them in the plant section at Wal-Mart yesterday and thought I would like to plant some. Your potatoes look yummy! Joni

Hah! I got confused and added my secret ingredient to the Bush’s Beans post. I vary ingredients for mashed potatoes but my Secret Weapon is a good oldfashioned potato masher. One where the metal part goes back and forth sort of like the letters MM and not the kind that is a flat circle with holes in it. If your masher has an old wooden handle with most of the paint missing the potatoes will taste even better (grin).

This is probably one of my favorite sides. I adore chives so I would be a big fan of this dish! .-= Bridgett´s last blog ..Scaloppine Delizia =-.

In Ireland we called potatoes with chives, “champ”.

At our house, we call them Rumbledethumps! It’s our FAVorite holiday potato dish – mashed with chives, cabbage, cream, butter and all that good stuff, then baked, topped with grated swiss AND a really, good, sharp white cheddar.

YUM!

Wholegrain mustard – it’s just not the same without. I also heard about someone adding wasabe which they swore by to give it a tasty kick.

I haven’t had chives for years we had them in our garden growning up and I loved them, especially in potato salad. As soon as I get a garden I’m going to plan some of these in my herb garden. Thanks for the reminder, these potatoes look great!

Oh, and we love to add bacon, green onions, and some cheddar cheese to our potatoes if there is no gravy. The hubby does not like mashed potatoes without gravy! .-= Kristen´s last blog ..My First Give-Away =-.

I put a Knorr Chicken bouillon cube in the water with potatoes and then roast some garlic cloves to mash in with the potatoes at the end.

Yummy yum yum. I do love mashed potatoes. These sound divine.

For plain old mashed potatoes, I like just butter, milk, salt, and pepper. But for smashed red potatoes, I like chives and horseradish. Heavenly.

Have a great weekend!

A few sprinkles of dill- we never had them that way until we moved to Ukraine the first time. We love it now!

Oh I love chives and I don’t use them nearly enough. I need to grow them so they are readily available.
Sometimes I’ll add roasted garlic to my potatoes. That totally kicks it up!
