Boiled potatoes get mixed with butter, herbs, and cream resulting in a simple buttery mashed potato side dish for two.

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/3 cup cream
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
2 Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until light brown and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to potatoes.
