Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 large Fresh garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
Instructions
Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly-sized chunks, about 1.5 inches each, to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Add a large pinch of salt to the water.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and slightly crush the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Let them infuse into the oil for about 5 minutes without allowing the garlic to brown.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the oil through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids. Set the infused oil aside.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes to the desired consistency.
Stir in the herb-infused olive oil, almond milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture is creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the mashed potatoes for a burst of freshness.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm.
