Ingredients

• Russet Potatoes – 2 Lbs.
• Heavy Cream – ¾ C.
• Chicken Stock – ¼ C.
• Butter – 4 T
• Cherry Horseradish Sauce – 1 T
• Salt – 2 t.
• Minced Chives – 2 T

Directions

1. Fit a colander or steamer basket into a pot of boiling water. Make sure there is 2-3” between the water and the bottom of the steamer.
2. Place whole potatoes¹ into the steamer and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Steam for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. You can check this by sticking them with a fork. If it pulls out easily and doesn’t stick to the potato, they’re done.
3. Allow potatoes to cool enough until they can be handled. While potatoes are cooling, slowly warm the cream, chicken stock and butter.
4. When potatoes are cool, peel the skins off and discard.
5. Add to mixer and pour in cream, butter, stock, horseradish sauce, salt and chives.
6. Turn mixer on medium low and whip to desired consistency.

¹ NOTE: Unless otherwise necessary, you should always try to cook your potatoes in the skin. It helps them retain moisture which will help create fluffy, airy potatoes. [gallery ids="3375,3376"]
