Description
Creamy mashed potatoes infused with garlic and rosemary, perfect as a comforting side dish for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (plus 1 tablespoon for cooking potatoes)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes cook, heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm.
- Add the garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the warmed cream mixture. Let steep for 10 minutes.
- Remove the rosemary sprigs; discard the garlic cloves or mash them in for a stronger flavor.
- Drain the potatoes well in a colander. Return them to the pot and mash until smooth.
- Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the mashed potatoes, mixing until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
For added flavor, consider infusing the cream with other herbs. Mash garlic cloves into potatoes for a stronger garlic taste.
