"Creamy mashed potatoes, with garlic and chives. I make these when I don't plan on making a gravy or sauce to put over my regular mashed potatoes. I use about 2/3 of a cup of half-n-half, but I always start with about 1/2 of a cup and add more as I go until I'm happy with the consistency (and so they don't get too wet and sloppy)."
