Recipe yields 8 servings
In a large saucepan, bring water and ½ cup vegetable stock to boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, cover and cook until fork tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain potatoes into a colander and lightly toss to shake off any excess water. Transfer potatoes to bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk, butter and remaining vegetable stock over medium heat, until warm and the butter is melted. Add milk mixture, garlic, thyme and black pepper to potatoes and mix on medium speed until lightly chunky. Add additional black pepper to taste.
Transfer mashed potatoes to serving bowl, garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm. For any leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
