Ingredients

• 4 pounds golden creamer potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
• 1 bay leaf
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Put the potatoes into a large pot, add the bay leaf, 2 tablespoons salt, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Add the hot cream and season with salt and pepper. Mix together with a spoon and add the chives.
