They're light and fluffy and full of potato-y deliciousness. The secret of this recipe is to dry the potatoes fully and use a ricer or food mill. If you don't have one yet, it's well worth the short money you'll invest.

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon picked fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Kosher or sea salt

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with 3 inches cold water. Raise heat to high and boil until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Pass through a ricer or food mill into a medium bowl.

In a separate small saucepan, melt butter and cook garlic gently until fragrant; don't brown it. Add herbs and stir well. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes. Fold into potatoes. Add cream and fold gently. Season to taste with salt.
