How to Make Mashed Potatoes With Prosciutto And Parmesan Cheese

  1. Peel and chop 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Mince 2 cloves garlic.
  2. Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and garlic, returning them to the pot.
  4. While potatoes cook, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Add 4 ounces chopped prosciutto and 3/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary. Sauté until prosciutto is crispy and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the prosciutto mixture and 3/4 cup milk to the cooked potatoes and garlic.
  7. Mash until smooth and creamy, adding more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Stir in 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Transfer mashed potatoes to a large serving bowl.
  11. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  12. Garnish with extra fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
