Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, then add the heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir in the fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, and black pepper. Let the mixture warm gently for a few minutes, ensuring it does not boil.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot.

Step 7

Pour the warm herb cream mixture over the potatoes. Use a potato masher to gently mash and mix the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency, retaining some texture.

Step 8

Fold in the freshly chopped chives for an added burst of flavor and color.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, keeping the sodium content low. Feel free to add more herbs or spices to suit your taste.

Step 10

Serve the creamy herb potatoes warm as a delightful low-sodium side dish.
