The secret to making these potatoes extra-flavorful is cooking them in chicken broth. They're mashed until smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of butter and cream to make a homestyle potato side everyone will enjoy. For more helpful info, see Make the Most of Your Mash.

Step 1
Place the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan. Heat over high heat to a boil, then cover and cook (still on high) for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes, reserving the broth.
Step 3
Mash the potatoes with the cream, butter and about 1/2 cup reserved broth (the consistency will vary depending on the type of potatoes used, so you may want to add more of the reserved broth- see ingredient note below). Season with salt and pepper.

These were good and easy to prepare the day before--the only thing, I dumped about a cup of the broth before I mashed them and they were still a little more "runny" than I would have liked. Next time I will remove more.

Absolutely delicious and easy to make.
