Ingredients
- 2 pounds Purple potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel the purple potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover them completely.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the melted butter and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Step 6
Add the garlic-rosemary butter mixture, heavy cream, and black pepper to the drained potatoes.
Step 7
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a hand mixer for a smoother texture, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the potatoes are creamy.
Step 8
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary, remembering to keep them low sodium.
Step 9
Transfer the creamy mashed purple potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped chives.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
