Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
3 sprigs rosemary
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
A potato ricer or food mill fitted with fine disk

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Add a large handful of salt (water should taste briny, like the ocean) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender but not crumbly, 30-35 minutes. Drain, briefly rinse with cool water to remove any excess starch, and return potatoes to warm pot (off heat) to dry while you heat the milk mixture.
  • Warm milk, cream, garlic, and rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan over medium until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
  • Pass hot potatoes through ricer or food mill into a large bowl (cold potatoes will become gummy). Add butter and 4 tsp. salt and stir until butter is completely incorporated. Strain warm milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass. Pour into potatoes 1/2-cupful at a time, stirring after each addition until liquid is fully incorporated and mixture is smooth before adding more.
  • Serve mashed potatoes topped with a few grinds of pepper.
  • Do Ahead
  • Mashed potatoes can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Reheat over medium, stirring often and adding 1/4 cup milk or stock to thin out if needed.

I was looking for a new mashed potato recipe and this one did not disappoint. The potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the cheese added a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less butter and cream next time. Otherwise, they were very good.

These mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They were bland and lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't turn out well. I won't be making these again.
