Printed on the back of a box of Trader Joe's brand Free Range Chicken Broth. I don't make bold claims with recipes stating they are the best... but I liked the name. Furthermore, I enjoy posting Trader Joe recipes especially for folks who don't have a store in their city or those living abroad. Vegan-friendly merely by replacing the chicken broth with vegetable broth. The chives are optional.
Ingredients:
5 medium white potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 1/2 cups chicken broth or 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced (substitute with another herb of choice or substitute scallions or green onions)
white pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Heat the potatoes and broth to a boil in a large pot.
2. Cover and cook over medium heat 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
3. Drain and *reserve* cooking liquid.
4. Mash potatoes with 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid/broth. Add more liquid if necessary for desired consistency.
5. Stir in chives or other herb of choice.
6. Season with white pepper.
7. Tip: save the remaining cooking liquid for another recipe.
