A delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes, infused with aromatic herbs and a creamy texture.
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized pieces.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.

For extra smooth potatoes, use a ricer or food mill.
Mix in the butter and cream, adjusting the consistency as needed.
