- Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add in fennel bulbs; cook till slightly softened, about 5 min. Add in potatoes and boil gently till fennel and potatoes are very tender, about 25 min.
- Meanwhile, combine 1/2 c. half-and-half, fennel seeds, and tarragon in small saucepan; bring to simmer. Remove from heat; cover to keep hot.
- Drain potato mix; return to pot. Stir over medium heat till any excess liquid evaporates, about 2 min. Add in warm half-and-half mix and butter and mash till vegetables are almost smooth (small fennel bits may still remain). Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hrs ahead; cover and chill. Rewarm covered with plastic wrap in microwave, stirring occasionally and thinning with more half-and-half, if you like.)
- Transfer mashed potato mix to bowl. Sprinkle with reserved minced fennel fronds and serve.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: Both fresh fennel and fennel seeds flavor this creamy mash of Yukon Golds. It can be made eight hrs ahead and rewarmed.
