Whip up a quick side dish with these Easy Rosemary Mashed Potatoes! Creamy, buttery potatoes are blended with fresh rosemary for a fragrant, savory twist that pairs perfectly with any meal. Simple, delicious, and ready to impress at any holiday meal!
One of my favorite things about the holidays is the food.  My family comes together for a large dinner at the holidays and I always overindulge on the food because it’s totally my thing!  On Thanksgiving I love to eat the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing.  Then on Christmas I enjoy the cheesy potato casserole, the homemade pierogies, and the vegetables.
While I enjoy the entrees, the side dishes are where I focus. I will always go for a second helping of this Vegetarian Stuffing. I am also a big fan of potatoes for Cheesy Holiday Potatoes are high up on my list of sides during the holiday season. In the fall I love a big pan of Baked Pumpkin Mac N Cheese with Bacon.
One thing that I often make from a box is mashed potatoes. I actually enjoy the packaged mashed potatoes and they only take minutes to make. But for the holidays homemade mashed potatoes are the way to go.
I decided to make rosemary mashed potatoes because I had some rosemary leftover from my garden. My recipe simply includes potatoes, butter, salt, fresh rosemary, and garlic powder.  I used garlic powder because I know fresh garlic can have sensitive people in knots but the powder generally leaves people symptom free.
Can I add other herbs and seasonings?
Of course!  Add as many fresh, chopped herbs or dried herbs as you’d like. If I had fresh chives I definitely would have added those in. Sage, thyme, and parsley are all good herbs to toss in. As for seasonings, feel free to add black pepper, paprika, or flavored salt.
These potatoes are really easy to make and they are delicious too. They are creamy, buttery, and have the taste of fresh rosemary which really adds to the dish.  They are the perfect accompaniment to a holiday turkey or ham too! So why not make a big bowl of potatoes and take them to your next holiday gathering?
How do you store these potatoes?
Store the potatoes in an air tight container or place them in a glass container covered with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
