Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

* 4 pounds golden creamer potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
* 1 bay leaf
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Directions

Put the potatoes into a large pot, add the bay leaf, 2 tablespoons

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