Monique first infuses the potatoes with flavor by boiling them in chicken broth until they reach peak tenderness. Then, she mashes them by hand until they’re super-smooth and creamy. Then comes lots of butter, half–and-half and cream cheese for a creamy goodness overload. To finish off this picture-perfect side, she allows a few golden pats of butter to melt on top. It’s a thing of beauty. Courses Sides
