Whenever chefs are interviewed, they are invariably asked what their "last meal" would be. I've always wondered what my answer to this question would be (in the extremely remote event that I'm interview by someone!). While I'm not sure what my main course would be, I do know what starch I'd like; creamy chive garlic mashed potatoes.

There's just something about a well-made scoop of mashed potatoes that makes me happy and content. To me it's the ultimate comfort food. I just posted this rich and satisfying mashed potato recipe, which you'll hopefully try well before your last meal! This mash calls for the garlic to be boiled with the potatoes for a much more sweet, and subtle effect than adding it at the end. Enjoy!
