Preparation
- Add the potatoes, bay leaves, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to a large pot. Pour in the cream and milk, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid, and discard the herbs and garlic. Press the potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl.
- Add about 1½ cups of the reserved cooking liquid to the potatoes and stir until creamy. Add the butter, salt, and pepper, and stir to incorporate.
- Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
- Note: You can save any extra cooking liquid and use it to rehydrate leftover mashed potatoes the next day.
- Enjoy!

Definitely use full sprigs of the herbs unless you want to spend a decent amount of time picking out the leaves like I did 😂 other than that this was so creamy and delicious I will definitely make it again!

As I was cooking the potatoes it was not thoroughly cooked at 20 min so I added a few more minutes to the boil. Also I did not have a potato smasher, but using a blender works (but more time consuming). Overall the taste was great and I would definitely do it again

If you can get fresh herbs, put the dried herbs in a handkerchief and tie it off tightly and let to cook with the potatoes. That way, you don’t have to pick them out!

The video shows WAY less than 5 pounds of potatoes but overall it was still really good.
