Garlic Chive Mashed Potatoes

Garlic-Chive Mashed Potatoes
Serves: 8 as a side dish

Ingredients:
5 lbs. yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 tsp. kosher salt
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 bunch of minced chives
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1 cup sour creme
10 peeled garlic cloves

Directions:
Place the potatoes in a medium stock pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Drain into a colander and return to the pot set over low heat.
Mix the cream and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the garlic is tender and the cream is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Pour through a strainer, pushing the garlic through the mesh to puree. Scrape the garlic off the strainer as necessary. Stir to mix well.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer. Gradually add the garlic-cream mixture and sour creme until the potatoes are creamy but not wet. Add the butter and remove from the heat. Add the chives, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
