Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
-
Peel and chop potatoes into equal-sized chunks.
-
Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
-
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Roast the Garlic (Optional but Recommended for a Richer Flavor):
-
While potatoes cook, roast garlic by wrapping peeled cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil.
-
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–15 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Mash the Potatoes:
-
Drain potatoes and return to the warm pot to remove excess moisture.
-
Mash with a potato masher or ricer for a smooth consistency.
Add the Creamy Elements:
-
Stir in butter, roasted garlic, and heavy cream.
-
Mix well, then fold in Greek yogurt (if using) for extra protein.
-
Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs.
Garnish, Serve, & Enjoy:
-
Garnish with extra butter and fresh thyme for a finishing touch.
Note
- Prefer a low-carb version? Swap potatoes for cauliflower mash.
- For an ultra-creamy version, mix in a bit of cream cheese.
- Make it smoky: Stir in smoked paprika or roasted bacon bits.
