Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 lbs russet potatoes, unpeeled
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 garlic cloves, crushed
1 shallot, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
thyme or rosemary

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes under running water. Cut into fourths, cover with cold, salted water. Bring potatoes to a boil and simmer until tender, but not falling apart, about 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  • Meanwhile, warm cream, garlic and herb leaves together in small saucepan. Mash warm potatoes together with scallions by hand, using a hand masher. Don't try to get potatoes perfectly smooth, they rustic! Strain warm cream and add to potatoes a little at a time, while continuing to mash. Stir in warm, melted butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • These work perfectly when made ahead and kept warm on LOW in a GREASED crockpot.
