Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic. Strip the rosemary leaves from the sprigs and mince them as well.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and rosemary, cooking for 2-3 minutes until aromatic. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the heavy cream in a separate small pan or in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just until heated through. This will help create smoother mashed potatoes.

Step 6

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the garlic-rosemary butter and the warm cream into the mashed potatoes, mixing them thoroughly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the mashed potatoes for extra richness, and mix again until well-combined.

Step 9

Spoon the mashed potatoes into martini glasses for a stylish presentation.

Step 10

Garnish each 'martini' with a sprinkle of chopped chives or an additional rosemary sprig, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
