Butter and Herb Mashed Potatoes
Butter and herb mashed potatoes are a tasty side dish with or without gravy. I chose to have chopped chives for this recipe, however if you have a herb of your choice, then you can use it instead. Regular milk can replace whipping cream, buttermilk or sour cream. You can use herbs like oregano, parsley, thyme, garlic or chives. Topped it off with cheddar cheese and the kids will love it.
