Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and rosemary sprigs and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer.
- Stir in the garlic-rosemary infused butter, heavy cream, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove rosemary sprigs before serving.
- Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, try roasting the garlic cloves before adding them to the butter. This will give the mashed potatoes a richer, sweeter garlic flavor.
