Mashed potatoes with herbs

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 Potatoes (about 2 lbs.)
1 cup Thinly sliced onion
⅔ cup Milk
2 tablespoons Butter
¼ cup Finely chopped chervil*
Salt and pepper; to taste

Directions

*While the recipe says you can substitute dried chervil, using ⅔ less the amount of the ¼ cup, personally I think dried chervil tastes like straw and I only make this in spring/early summer when fresh chervil's in my garden.

Peel and quarter potatoes. Put in a large pot; cover with cold water. Add the onion and salt. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes.

Drain. Beat in milk, butter, chervil and salt and pepper to taste.
