Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• Kosher salt
• 1/4 cup hopped fresh chives

Preparation

Step 1

Combine potatoes, half-and-half, and butter in a large saucepan; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer very gently, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender (the tip of a paring knife meets no resistance) and sauce is thick, 25-35 minutes.

Season with salt; stir in most of the chives. Top with remaining chives before serving.
