Ingredients:
- 4 baking potatoes
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt, to taste
- White pepper, to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Place the baking potatoes and garlic cloves in a heavy saucepan. Cover them with cold water and bring to a boil. |
| 2 | Reduce the heat and let them simmer partly covered for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. |
| 3 | Drain the potatoes and garlic well, then return them to the pan and place it over high heat. Briefly stir or shake the pan to prevent sticking or burning until the outside of the potatoes begins to dry to a white color (about 1 to 2 minutes). |
| 4 | Remove the pan from heat. |
| 5 | While the potatoes are cooking, chop the fresh herbs. In a small saucepan, combine the milk and butter, and heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped rosemary, chives, and parsley. |
| 6 | Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes and garlic until smooth. |
| 7 | Gradually beat in the milk-herb mixture and sour cream until well combined. |
| 8 | Season the mashed potatoes with salt and white pepper, adjusting to taste. |
| 9 | Serve the Country Herb Mashed Potatoes hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy! |
