Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
Flavorings
- 4 cloves garlic, roasted
- 1 tsp rosemary, chopped
Dairy & Seasonings
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
- Mash with Flavorings: In a mixing bowl, mash the hot potatoes together with the roasted garlic cloves, butter, and milk or cream until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped rosemary evenly throughout the mash.
- Season: Taste the mashed potatoes and season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to your preference. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy as a delicious side to your main course.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for extra creaminess and natural buttery flavor.
- Roast garlic in advance by wrapping cloves in foil and baking at 400°F (204°C) for 30-35 minutes until soft.
- For a richer mash, substitute cream for milk or add a splash of sour cream.
- Fresh rosemary adds a fragrant herbal note; dried rosemary can be used but use about half the amount as it is more concentrated.
