Steps:
- On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to prevent discoloration.
- Dice the potatoes into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes.
- Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water, along with the salt. Bring to a soft boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 12 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir the potatoes around for 2-3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher, potato ricer, or by pushing through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula.
- Add the melted butter and stir to incorporate, then season with salt to taste.
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, rosemary, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over low heat, let simmer for a few minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
- Gradually add the cream mixture to the potatoes, a little at a time, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Top with a pat of butter, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle with chives, or gravy, if desired.
- Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

Add back to the pot beat with electric mixer adding butter and folding in sour cream.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Add a large handful of salt (water should taste briny, like the ocean) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender but not crumbly, 30-35 minutes. Drain, briefly rinse with cool water to remove any excess starch, and return potatoes to warm pot (off heat) to dry while you heat the milk mixture.
- Warm milk, cream, garlic, and rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan over medium until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
- Pass hot potatoes through ricer or food mill into a large bowl (cold potatoes will become gummy). Add butter and 4 tsp. salt and stir until butter is completely incorporated. Strain warm milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass. Pour into potatoes 1/2-cupful at a time, stirring after each addition until liquid is fully incorporated and mixture is smooth before adding more.
- Serve mashed potatoes topped with a few grinds of pepper.
- Do Ahead
- Mashed potatoes can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Reheat over medium, stirring often and adding 1/4 cup milk or stock to thin out if needed.

Steps:
- Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
- Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
- Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.

Tips
- Use starchy potatoes for creamier mashed potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are good choices.
- To prevent the potatoes from getting watery, make sure to drain them well after boiling.
- Use a potato ricer for smooth, lump-free mashed potatoes.
- For extra creamy mashed potatoes, use a combination of butter, milk, and cream.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- To make the mashed potatoes ahead of time, prepare them up to 3 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat them gently over low heat until warmed through.
- To make the mashed potatoes on the stovetop, bring the potatoes to a boil in a large pot of salted water. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and mash until smooth.
- Add milk and stir until combined. Then add butter and continue stirring until the butter is melted and the potatoes are creamy.
