Best Mashed Potatoes Recipe with Garlic and Thyme
These herb garlic mashed potatoes are creamy, buttery, and packed with flavor. They’re perfect for Sunday dinner or any gathering where you want to impress your guests with some down-home goodness.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
- 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon of dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add your peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes and let them cook until they’re tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt your butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it’s fragrant but not browned. Remove it from the heat.
- When the potatoes are fork-tender, drain them and return to the pot. Now, it’s time for the fun part—mashing! Use a potato masher or a ricer if you’re feelin’ fancy.
- Add in your buttery garlic mix, then pour in the milk (or cream). Stir it all together until you reach that creamy consistency you love.
- Finally, fold in the fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix, and then you’re ready to serve!
