Creamy Smashed Potatoes with Chives

Chunkier and more rustic than your standard mash, these spuds are enhanced by the color and flavor of fresh chives.

    You can’t. If it was included in a thanksgiving recommendation it was a mistake. Still if you want to make it pareve use parve sour cream.

    I don’t understand how could you include sour cream or greek yogurt if you are making this for Thanksgiving dinner with your turkey.

    Looks yummy. We serve lots of fish and this would be a great, easy and quick side dish.
