Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 8 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the potato cubes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the garlic cloves and rosemary leaves.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Add the chopped garlic and rosemary, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth.

Step 7

Gradually add the heavy cream, while stirring, to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 8

Stir in the melted butter with garlic and rosemary, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes.

Step 9

Season with 0.5 teaspoons of ground black pepper and additional salt to taste, if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped rosemary if desired.
