Mashed potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 large yellow potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- Salt & Pepper
Directions
- Peel and cut potatoes; slice garlic.
- Boil potatoes, garlic, pepper, and salt in a pot covered with water (Note 1).
- Strain when tender (about 15 min) and return to pot.
- Add butter, cover to melt.
- Mix in sour cream and rosemary, mash, and adjust seasoning (Note 2).
Notes
- Heavily salt the water - boiling the ingredients with the potatoes infuses flavour.
- This a base recipe, I like to do variations like “Loaded mash”, add green onion, cheddar & bacon or anything else, like different herbs.
- The mesh strainer is important so you dont strain out the garlic or pepper.
