Rosemary Garlic Mashed Potatoes are a flavorful twist on the classic side dish, featuring roasted garlic and fresh rosemary for a creamy, aromatic, and comforting addition to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 whole head garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting garlic)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream (warmed)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt (plus more for boiling water)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional garnish: extra rosemary, cracked pepper, or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30–40 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool, then squeeze out the roasted cloves.
  2. Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain well.
  3. Return the drained potatoes to the pot or a large bowl. Add butter, warm milk or cream, roasted garlic, and chopped rosemary.
  4. Mash until smooth or to your desired consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional rosemary, cracked pepper, or melted butter if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For ultra-smooth mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer or food mill.
  • Warm the milk before adding to help absorb better into the potatoes.
  • Roasted garlic adds a sweet, mellow flavor—adjust the amount to your taste.
