Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water by about an inch.
Add a pinch of salt to the water, then bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
While the potatoes are boiling, lightly crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife but leave them whole.
In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, crushed garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the herbs and garlic are aromatic.
Once the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork (after about 15-20 minutes), drain them well in a colander.
Remove the garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme from the infused olive oil.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer for a smoother texture.
Gradually add the herb-infused olive oil to the mashed potatoes, mixing well to combine and reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving the herb-infused mashed potatoes warm.
