Ingredients
- 3½ pounds Russet potatoes or Yukon gold, peeled and cut in half
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8 to 9 ounces Creme Fraiche
- ¼ cup heavy cream or milk or half & half
- 1 teaspoon salt or more
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or more
- chives
Instructions
- Bring a (covered) pot of salted water with the potatoes to a boil. Once it has reached a boil, slightly uncover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender. (Around 10-15 minutes, depending on how large you cut the potatoes)
- Drain the potatoes and add them to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher (or a potato ricer) until there are no more super large chunks.
- Add the butter, cream, creme fraiche, salt and pepper. Continue to mash until you've reached your desired consistency. Use a spatula to finish off the mashed potatoes to make sure everything is evenly distributed. Add additional salt and pepper and top off with chives as desired.

Notes
- You can make this as smooth or as chunky as you'd like!
