Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Herb-Infused Baby Potatoes with Creamy Mash

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they are larger than a golf ball.
3. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and parsley until well coated.
4. Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
5. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the creamy mashed potatoes. In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the remaining potatoes (if using larger ones, cut them into chunks). Cook for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
6. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add heavy cream and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Once the baby potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve alongside the creamy mashed potatoes, garnished with shredded cheese if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a variety of herbs for a unique flavor profile. Thyme and chives work beautifully!
• Make sure the potatoes are all similar in size for even cooking.
• For extra creaminess in the mashed potatoes, warm the heavy cream and butter before adding.

Easy Variations

• Add roasted garlic to the mashed potatoes for an extra punch of flavor.
• Swap out baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist.
• Mix in some sautéed onions or shallots with the mashed potatoes for added depth.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or steak for a hearty meal.
• Baked salmon for a lighter option.
• A fresh garden salad for a complete dinner.
• Your favorite sauce or gravy to drizzle over the mash.
