Peel and cube the potatoes into equal-sized chunks, approximately 1.5 inches.
Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch and place them in a large pot.
Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and free of large lumps.
Warm the heavy cream in the microwave or on the stovetop until slightly warm, then gradually add it to the mashed potatoes, stirring to combine.
Pour the garlic-rosemary butter mixture into the potatoes and mix well until fully incorporated.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Serve hot and garnish with extra rosemary sprigs, if desired.
