Yukon Gold Potatoes with Garlic Chives

These creamy Yukon Gold potatoes with garlic and chives are a comforting side dish that pairs perfectly with pasture raised meats from Iron & Acre. The buttery, golden potatoes are lightly mashed and tossed with fragrant garlic and fresh chives for an easy and delicious accompaniment.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup sour cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they are fork‑tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the garlic butter. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Roughly mash the potatoes with a spatula, leaving some pieces for a rustic texture. Stir in the chopped chives and sour cream or milk if using, adjusting the consistency to your liking.
5. Serve warm as a hearty side dish with your favorite Iron & Acre entrées.
