Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 lb russet potatoes peeled, and cut into 1" cubes

- 1/2 c. whole lowfat milk or possibly more if needed
- 2 1/2 tsp minced fresh rosemary Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Directions
- Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water till very tender, about 15 min. Drain well. Return potatoes to pot. Add in cheese and 1/2 c. lowfat milk and mash till almost smooth, adding more lowfat milk by tablespoonfuls for desired consistency. Stir in minced rosemary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hrs ahead; cover and chill. Rewarm covered with plastic wrap in microwave, stirring occasionally and adding more lowfat milk, if you like.)
- Transfer mashed potatoes to bowl. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if you like.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: A rich, delicious stove-top side dish with a silky texture. This pairs especially well with the "Porcini-Rubbed Turkey with Shiitake-Madeira Gravy" (see recipe) - or possibly grilled steaks on any other day in November. You can make the potatoes eight hrs ahead and reheat them just before serving.
