How to Make Herb Smashed Potatoes
- Peel and quarter 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain well.
- Return the potatoes to the pot.
- While potatoes cook, prepare the herb mixture: In a separate saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 4 oz cream cheese, and 2 oz shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and simmering (about 5 minutes).
- Pour the cheese mixture over the cooked potatoes.
- Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Add more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, if a creamier texture is desired.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, topped with a pat of butter (optional).
