Mashed potatoes can be dressed up or customized to your own taste with the addition of one or two simple, but exceptionally fresh, ingredients. Chives lend a sweet, mellow onion flavor and add wonderful little bits of color to these creamy rich mashed potatoes.

8 lb | 3.5

Method

Cover potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) fine salt. Reduce to a simmer; cook gently until potatoes are tender. While potatoes are simmering, heat butter, buttermilk, garlic and thyme. Drain potatoes well, return to pot and, over low heat, cook for a few minutes to remove excess moisture (this will result in a lighter texture). Mash the potatoes with a hand masher,
