Don’t forget to reserve some cooking liquid prior to mashing. Also, don’t forget to remove all the rosemary after the potatoes are done cooking.

Equipment

  • Hand mixer, stand mixer or immersion blender with whisk attachment
  • 1 potato masher

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium potatoes
  • 1 large sprig fresh rosemary
  • water for boiling potatoes
  • salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (you can use any other fat you like to keep this dairy free)

Instructions
 

  • Peel potatoes and cut into even pieces (you can boil them whole, but cutting them increases the surface area and cooks them much quicker).
  • Place into a pot with rosemary and a generous pinch of salt, cover with cold water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-20 minutes. They are ready when you can easily pierce a piece of potato with a knife.
  • Pour off 1-2 cups of the cooking liquid into a measuring cup and set aside. Drain the rest of the potatoes and remove rosemary.
  • Add the butter and a generous pinch of salt to the potatoes and mash with a potato masher until everything is uniform. The hot potatoes should melt the butter easily. While mashing, add in reserved cooking water a bit at a time until a smooth consistency is reached (for 6 potatoes, you will end up using about 1 cup, though this will depend on the type of potatoes you use and how starchy they are)
  • Once everything has been mashed, taste for seasoning, then use a hand mixer or immersion blender with a whisk attachment to whip the potatoes until silky smooth. DO NOT use a regular immersion blender blade - this will turn your mashed potatoes into glue!
  • Top with some melted butter, chopped herbs of your choice and enjoy!
