Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes
• 4 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary
• 1 sprig Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-inch each.

Step 2

Place the cut potatoes and whole garlic cloves into a large pot and fill the pot with cold water until the potatoes are submerged by about an inch.

Step 3

Add the sprigs of rosemary and thyme to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, chop the fresh parsley finely and set aside for garnish.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the black pepper and swirl to infuse the flavor for about 1 minute. Remove the herb sprigs from the butter if desired.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and remove the rosemary and thyme sprigs.

Step 8

Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add the infused butter and the low-sodium vegetable broth.

Step 9

Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, using a potato masher or ricer.

Step 10

Stir in the whole milk gradually, adjusting the amount to reach your desired creaminess.

Step 11

Check and adjust the seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the low sodium requirement.

Step 12

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
