Step 1

Peel and cut potatoes into nice, 2-inch chunks. Put the chunks in a pot and cover them with water. Season with salt and bring to a boil.

Step 2

While the potatoes boil, melt the butter in a pan and mix in the milk to create a creamy sauce.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are soft enough to pierce and snap with a fork, but not mushy, drain them and return them to the pot.

Step 4

Add the melted butter and milk, and mash until smooth, being careful not to overwork the starch too much.

Step 5

Thinly slice the chives. Mix both the chives and the sour cream into the potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Optionally garnish on plate with an extra pad of butter, as well as more salt, pepper, or chives.
