Marble Mashed Potatoes Recipes

THE BEST MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

• Cover skillet and cook for 5 minutes; stir. Repeat steps, covering and cooking for 5 minutes and stirring until potatoes are tender and a tip of a knife inserts easily, 15 to 20 more minutes.
• Adjust salt and black pepper to taste; sprinkle chopped rosemary over potatoes, stir, and remove from heat. Drizzle rice vinegar over potatoes and stir to dissolve any browned bits of food stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
• Transfer potatoes to a serving dish and top with a rosemary sprig.
