Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
3 cups heavy cream
3 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes, bay leaves, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to a large pot. Pour in the cream and milk, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid, and discard the herbs and garlic. Press the potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl.
  • Add about 1½ cups of the reserved cooking liquid to the potatoes and stir until creamy. Add the butter, salt, and pepper, and stir to incorporate.
  • Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
  • Note: You can save any extra cooking liquid and use it to rehydrate leftover mashed potatoes the next day.
  • Enjoy!
