Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into medium chunks, and cover with salted cold water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes in a heatproof strainer, then set the strainer over the empty pan and let them steam-dry for 5 minutes.
  3. Return the potatoes to the pan and mash them with a fork or masher, or press them through a ricer into a large bowl for the lightest texture.
  4. Add the flour, salt, pepper and melted butter to the potatoes and stir until a dough forms.
  5. Flatten the dough on a lightly floured surface into an 8-inch disk, then cut it evenly into 6 pieces.
  6. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the softened butter in it.
  7. Arrange the potato pieces in the pan in a circle. Cook about 5 minutes per side, until golden and crisp on the outside.
  8. Top with the remaining 1 tablespoon softened butter and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
