Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Purple potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped
Instructions
Peel the purple potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover them completely.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the melted butter and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Add the garlic-rosemary butter mixture, heavy cream, and black pepper to the drained potatoes.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a hand mixer for a smoother texture, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the potatoes are creamy.
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary, remembering to keep them low sodium.
Transfer the creamy mashed purple potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
