Mascapone Chive Mashed Potatoes

Happy Friday!! Who doesn't like fluffy mashed potatoes = Yumola:
(serves10-12)

5&1/2 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled, cut in chunks
4 dried bay leaves
Kosher salt
2&1/4 cups 2%* milk
12 oz. mascarpone cheese
1/4 t. white pepper
1 bunch chives (1" diameter), snipped

Simmer potatoes with bay leaves in a large pot of salted water until falling apart when poked, 20-25 mins. Meanwhile, in a med. pot, whisk milk and mascarpone. Heat over low heat until simmering. Stir in pepper; keep warm. Drain potatoes, discarding bay leaves. Return to pot over very low heat and cook, stirring, until dried and crumbling. Remove from heat. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Beat in mascarpone milk, a third at a time. Stir in chives and season with salt.
