Directions: |
Directions:1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the root vegetable of choice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and the vegetables are dark brown and carmelized, about 10 -12 minutes. If after 4 minutes the vegetables have not started to brown, increase the heat to medium-high.
2. Add the potatoes, broth, and 3/4 tsp salt and stir to combine. Cook, covered, over low heat (the broth should simmer gently; do not boil), stirring occasionally, until the potatoes fall apart easily when poked with a fork and all the liquid has been absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. If the liquid does not gently simmer after a few minutes, increase the heat to medium-low. Remove the pan from the heat; remove the lid and allow the steam to escape for 2 minutes.
3. Gently mash the potatoes and vegetables in the saucepan with a potato masher (do not mash vigorously). Gently fold in the warmed half-and-half and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve. |

Notes: Choose one of the vegetables suggested. I have only made this recipe with carrots. Russet potatoes can be used as a substitute for the Yukon gold. They will be slightly fluffier but less creamy. Serves 4.
MOST WONDERFUL MASHED POTATO RECIPE EVER. ADDY DEVOURED THESE AND USUALLY HAS 3 HELPINGS. I double the recipe. Freezes well. Microwave to re-heat. When defrosted, the mixture can be quite soupy; don't worry ... just microwave and stir every few minutes and the mixture will recombine.
