Garlic Smashed Potatoes

• 2 pounds unpeeled baby red potatoes, cut in half if large
• 6 cloves garlic, halved
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/8 cup chopped chives

Preparation:

Gently boil red potatoes and garlic in salted water until tender. Drain.

Using the back of a large spoon, smash each potato once so the pieces are very large and chunky. Add butter, cream, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine. Serve hot.
