This classic, velvety side is perfect for soaking up the rich flavors of the short ribs and the Syrah’s earthy notes.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
- 4 tbsps unsalted butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
1. Boil the Potatoes and Garlic: In a large pot, add potatoes and garlic. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
2. Mash and Mix: Return potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add cream and butter, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Serve: Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.
