Thyme Mashed Potatoes

INGREDIENTS

1.5 lbs thin-skinned potatoes, scrubbed (peel if desired)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup cream
1/8 tsp ground pepper
2 tsp fresh thyme, removed from stem

DIRECTIONS

Cube the potatoes and place in a pot with the salt. Cover potatoes with water, cover the pot, and bring to a boil. Lower heat slightly and boil until the potatoes are cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and add the cream, pepper, and thyme. Mash to combine, using a light hand so the potatoes don't turn gluey.

Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.

For a delicious variation, mash in a couple of cloves of roasted garlic too.
