Over high heat bring potatoes to a boil, then turn down the heat.
Simmer for 20-30 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain water from the potatoes.
Put half the potatoes through a food mill with the smallest attachment disk, or a ricer.
Add the second half of the potatoes to the food mill (or ricer) with the butter and push through.
In a medium saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer then add the potato mixture.
Stir with a fork until the cream and potatoes are well mixed.
Taste and add salt as needed.
Put the potatoes into a serving bowl or individual ramekins and sprinkle with the chopped chives.
