Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic. Strip the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and mince them as well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and rosemary, cooking for 2-3 minutes until aromatic. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. Remove from heat.
Warm the heavy cream in a separate small pan or in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just until heated through. This will help create smoother mashed potatoes.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
Pour the garlic-rosemary butter and the warm cream into the mashed potatoes, mixing them thoroughly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mashed potatoes for extra richness, and mix again until well-combined.
Spoon the mashed potatoes into martini glasses for a stylish presentation.
Garnish each 'martini' with a sprinkle of chopped chives or an additional rosemary sprig, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
