Grandma Eva'S Mashed Potatoes

1. 1

   Salt sliced potatoes and place in a large pot of boiling water until tender when pierced with a fork. Skim surface of pot as needed. Drain potatoes (save some potato water for gravy, if desired).

2. 2

   Place one stick of butter into a large bowl and put drained potatoes on top; cut remaining butter into pats and add on top. Allow butter to melt and combine.

3. 3

   Run potatoes through a potato ricer, or beat with handheld or stand mixer. Stir in hot milk and whip again. Add cream cheese, allow to melt for a moment, then mix into potatoes. Add creme fraiche and lemon zest and thoroughly combine. Taste and correct seasonings.

4. 4

   Put potatoes into a buttered 9x13 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until lightly browned and golden on top. You can also make them ahead of time and bake for 50-55 minutes at 350 degrees. Finish with chives and serve. Enjoy!
