Photo by Sue York/ladailypost.comIngredients:
1 1/2 pounds of red medium size potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters
2 bays leaves
5 cloves of garlic, whole
5 tablespoons butter
¾ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped fine
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ cup chopped onions
½ teaspoon fresh black pepper
1 cup of reserved potato water
Directions:
Put the potatoes in a pan with water enough to cover them by two inches. Simmer about 25- 30 minutes until fork tender. Reserve 1 cup of potato water. Drain the potatoes and discard bay leaves. Mash the potatoes very lightly.
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter. Add onions. Cook on medium heat until the onions start to just get a little color on them.
