mashed red potatoes with chives
OK, this was just put together with leftover potatoes - I had cooked a lot of red potatoes with butter and chives for Christmas dinner, and wanted to use the leftovers in something different. This was really good! I have given the directions as starting from scratch, but you can use leftover potatoes if you have them. Mine already had the butter in them.

How To Make mashed red potatoes with chives

Step 2Using leftover red potatoes, slowly stir them with the chicken broth over medium heat in a saucepan until hot. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
