Ingredients
2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cloves garlic, roasted
1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Place cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook 15–20 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, heat cream with rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan over low heat. Discard rosemary after infusing.
- Drain potatoes and return to pot.
- Mash potatoes with roasted garlic, then add butter and warmed cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh rosemary if desired.
Notes
Yukon Gold potatoes give a creamy texture; Russet potatoes make it fluffier.
For extra tang, stir in sour cream or cream cheese.
Roast a whole head of garlic for stronger garlic flavor.
For dairy-free, use olive oil and plant-based milk.
Best served fresh, but leftovers reheat well with added cream or milk.
