Directions
Make the Potato Puree
Peel and rough chop the potatoes and add them to a pot of cold salted water with the garlic.
Bring to a simmer and cook the potatoes until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, strain them out from the water and set aside.
In a sauté pan over medium-low heat, bring the cream and butter to a simmer.
Place the potatoes into a ricer and mill the potatoes into the pot with the cream and butter. Using a whisk, gently fold everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the potatoes warm and garnish with chopped chives and drizzle with good extra-virgin olive oil.
