Although I love mashed potatoes right out of the pot, finishing them on cedar over a hot grill just takes them to a new wonderful place. A happy place.

Instructions
Soak a cedar plank in water.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the potatoes and boil until tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain and return to the pot.
Add remaining ingredients and mash with a potato masher or hand mixer.
Fire up your grill for indirect cooking.
Mound potatoes onto the plank and put onto the grill over indirect heat.
After 15 minutes add small spoonfuls of the chive butter to the tops of the potatoes (make tiny indentations so the butter doesn't run off) and cook another 5 minutes.
Serve hot.
For the chive butter
Mix all ingredients well. Don't be shy with the chives.
