Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds of Idaho or Russet potatoes
  • 1 cup of mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup of half and half
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 1 fresh sprig of rosemary
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the Rosemary Butter

  • Add a stick of butter to a small saucepan. Heat over low heat with a sprig of fresh rosemary. When butter is melted, pull out the rosemary sprig and set butter aside.

For the Potatoes

  • Peel the potatoes and wash them to remove the remaining dirt.
  • Cut into one to two inch cubes.
  • Put the cubes into a large pot filled 1/2 way with water. Salt liberally to season the cooking water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Drain and put potatoes back in pot on burner with heat turned on low to let remaining moisture cook off. Add in the mascarpone cheese and begin mashing.
  • Add the butter and half and half about a quarter at a time, mixing with an electric mixer as you go.
  • Keep adding until the potatoes are your desired consistency.
  • When you are satisfied with the potato consistency, add the parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot, and drizzle with more melted butter and sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
