Ingredients
Scale

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes if desired, then rice them or use pre-riced potatoes for a smooth consistency.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Cook until fragrant—about 2 minutes—being careful not to burn the garlic.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the riced potatoes with the garlic-rosemary butter mixture.
- Gradually add the warm milk or heavy cream, stirring gently until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and adjust as needed.
- Garnish with additional rosemary or Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a vegan version, swap butter with plant-based margarine or olive oil.
- For extra creaminess, add more milk or cream as needed.
