Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 lb yukon gold potato
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, melted
1 cup heavy cream
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 head garlic, crushed
butter, for serving
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
chive, finely chopped, for serving

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to prevent discoloration.

  • Add the melted butter and stir to incorporate, then season with salt to taste.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, rosemary, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over low heat, let simmer for a few minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Gradually add the cream mixture to the potatoes, a little at a time, stirring until fully incorporated.
  • Top with a pat of butter, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle with chives, or gravy, if desired.

When the potatoes are finished cooking, immediately drain and mash them while hot. Have your cream and butter heated and ready to add in right then. A few lumps are OK. If you overstir or let the potatoes cool before mashing, they'll be gluey.
