Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- Water for boiling
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches wide.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the fresh sage leaves to the melted butter and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the butter is fragrant and the sage leaves are slightly crisp. Remove the sage leaves and set aside for garnish.
In the same saucepan, add the minced garlic to the butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until warmed through. Remove from heat.
Mash the cooked potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
Gradually stir the sage-infused butter and cream mixture into the mashed potatoes until fully incorporated and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the crispy sage leaves. Serve warm.
