Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 8 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the potato cubes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the garlic cloves and rosemary leaves.
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Add the chopped garlic and rosemary, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
Gradually add the heavy cream, while stirring, to achieve your desired consistency.
Stir in the melted butter with garlic and rosemary, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes.
Season with 0.5 teaspoons of ground black pepper and additional salt to taste, if needed.
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped rosemary if desired.
