Holiday Spuds

Mashed potatoes aren't very Christmas-y but, I only get this kind once a year.

Clean and mostly peal as many potatoes as you want (I used about 6 medium red spuds). Quarter potatoes and add to cold water. Add a liberal amount of garlic that has been cut into chunks with the potatoes (I had about 1.5 head of it). Add 2-3 sprigs of rosemary tied together with string or some other fancy tying mechanism.

Bring to boil. Reduce to simmer and let simmer till spuds are soft, then drain. But save some of the water because it contains good flavor. Toss the tied rosemary.

Begin the mashing using the water from above, milk and butter till creamy. Keep on low heat, not to high or can burn bottom. Too much water or milk will make watery. Butter is good no matter what and helps with creaminess. A dollop or 2 of sour cream can aid in making creamy. Continually add and mix these ingredients until at desired consistency.

Consume!
