Wheat Free Chive Mashed Potatoes
Creamy, buttery mashed potatoes are one of those dishes that feel like a hug in a bowl, and this version delivers exactly that with Yukon Golds as the star. Their naturally waxy, golden flesh breaks down into something impossibly smooth and rich without needing any thickeners or additives — just real, whole ingredients from start to finish. The warm milk-and-butter mixture gets folded in at just the right moment, giving you that silky, restaurant-worthy texture at home. Fresh chives bring a gentle oniony brightness that cuts through the richness beautifully, and a handful of parsley adds a pop of color if you want to dress things up a little. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, there's no label-reading stress or ingredient swapping required — it just works as written. This is the kind of side dish that disappears fast at the dinner table, whether it's paired with a weeknight roast or anchoring a holiday spread.

- ¾ cup low-fat milk
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18–20 minutes.

While the potatoes cook, combine the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
