Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the hot pot. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes to help remove any excess moisture.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, heat the unsalted butter and low-sodium chicken broth over low heat until the butter is melted. Stir in the whole milk and warm the mixture, but do not let it boil.
Step 6
Add the warm butter and milk mixture to the potatoes gradually, mashing with a potato masher or using a handheld mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Stir in the ground nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Step 8
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving.
