Mashed Potatoes with Cheddar and Chives

 As my last post will tell you, we get a box of fruit and vegetables once a week from Boston Organics. This box contained chives, thus this recipe was followed and altered a bit.

These do not turn into potato pancakes well. I think it is the cheeses and cream.

Ingredients:

• 4 lb baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-in chunks
• 10 oz sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1/2 cup low fat sour cream
• 1/3 cup low fat cream cheese
• 3 TBSP butter
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

1) Boil potatoes in a large pot in water for about 20 minutes, or until tender when stuck with a fork.
2) Scoop off 1 cup cooking water and reserve.
3) Drain.






4) Return potatoes to the pot and add the water and the rest of the ingredients.
5) Mash.
