Cheesy Chive Potatoes


I used fresh chives from my garden for these and potatoes from the farmers market. We like our mashed potatoes with the skins on, so make these however you like. I always boil my potatoes in chicken stock because I feel it really enhances the flavor. Here's the link to these potatoes

Got some gorgeous corn at the farmers market so couldn't wait to make these fritters I pinned. We grilled the corn, let it cool a little and then made these. So delicious and really is the perfect summer side dish. Here's the link to these
