Drain and return to the pot.
In a small saucepan, over low heat, heat the cream with butter until the butter is just melted. Using a potato masher, smash potatoes to break them up.
Add the cream and butter mixture and continue to smash to desired consistency. Stir in the chives and season with more salt and pepper, to taste.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
