Ultra Creamy Mashed Potatoes
The secret to making these potatoes extra-flavorful is cooking them in chicken broth. Then they're mashed until perfectly smooth and creamy with just the right amount of butter, cream and pepper.
How to Make It
Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain, reserving the broth.
Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup broth, cream, butter and black pepper. Add additional broth, if needed, until desired consistency.
Ultimate Mashed Potatoes: Stir 1/2 cup sour cream, 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve some for garnish), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives into the hot mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with the reserved bacon.

These are the best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten! Be sure to use the chicken broth; it adds so much flavor.

OMG...these are wonderful! Bar-none the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. I can't decide whether to add the bacon and chives as I have just prepared them for dinner tonight but just plain they are great. I wonder if it would be the same not boiling them in the chicken broth because it seems so wasteful to only use part of it. I may try next time to boil in water and just add the 1/4 cup chicken broth...just to see how it turns out.
