Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups milk
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
3 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold
Fine sea salt to taste
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Bring milk with parsley and chives to a simmer in a saucepan, then remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 20 minutes.
  • While milk is standing, cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a large pot and simmer, uncovered, until very tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain in a colander and, when just cool enough to handle, peel.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mash warm potatoes with a potato masher, gradually adding 1 1/2 cups herbed milk. Add remaining milk 1/4 cup at a time, mashing, until potatoes reach desired consistency. Season with sea salt and pepper, then transfer to an ovenproof serving dish.
  • Heat potatoes, covered, in middle of oven 15 minutes. (If making potatoes to go with lamb, you can heat potatoes while lamb stands.)
  • Serve potatoes hot, topped with pats of butter.
