Creamiest Mashed Potatoes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: yukon gold potato, kosher salt, unsalted butter, heavy cream, fresh rosemary, garlic, butter, freshly ground black pepper, chive, gravy

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
gravy, 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.
