Ingredients
3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: Crumbled smoked chicken strips for garnish
Instructions
Place quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
While potatoes boil, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the butter and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Drain the potatoes well in a colander and return them to the warm pot to sit for 1 minute to evaporate excess moisture.
Pour the rosemary-garlic butter and warmed milk into the potatoes.
Mash until you reach your desired consistency.
Fold in salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess. If using dried rosemary, use only 1 tablespoon. Garnish with crispy smoked chicken strips for a savory crunch instead of bacon.
