This one-pan mashed potato dish frees up plenty of counter and stove-top space, making it a great space-saving recipe when cooking for a larger group. And, as a bonus it makes some pretty tasty taters too. Baby gold potatoes are first roasted in a fragrant blend of fresh herbs and garlic until tender-crisp. Then cream and butter is added to the pan, and returned to your Suvie for a final roast. Once everything is warm and tender, the potatoes are mashed until smooth and creamy.
Herb Roasted Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs baby yukon gold potatoes
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tsp chopped fresh sage
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
Directions
1) Place 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp sage, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper in a large bowl, and toss to coat. Transfer the potatoes and any residual oil and seasonings to a Suvie pan and place in the bottom zone of your Suvie. Input settings and cook now.

Bottom Zone: Roast at 350°F for 40 minutes
Top Zone: None
2) After the cook, remove the pan from your Suvie. Add ½ cup of heavy cream and ½ cup butter, and return the pan to the bottom zone of your Suvie. Input settings and cook now.

Bottom Zone: Roast at 350°F for 20 minutes
Top Zone: None
3) After the cook, remove the pan from your Suvie, and test the potatoes for doneness by poking some of the larger potatoes with a fork. If tender, transfer all of the contents, potatoes and liquid, to a large bowl. If the potatoes are still firm, return to your Suvie and roast for another 10-15 minutes.
4) Slowly begin smashing the potatoes using a potato masher, going slowly to keep the hot liquid from splashing. Once most of the potatoes have been smashed, mash the potatoes more firmly until smooth and combined.

Does it have to cook now in the 2nd step? Or can it cook it later?
Hi Cherish, the potatoes don’t immediately have to cook in Step 2. You could always cook the potatoes in Step 1, then refrigerate them and cook with the cream and butter later to save yourself time.
If you are only using one zone to cook the potato’s does the other zone need to be on at the same time??
Hi Jane, no you don’t need to set a temperature for a zone that’s not being used. This recipe was written before the ability to select “None” for one zone was possible. We’ve updated the recipe to reflect the new firmware. Thanks for catching that.
Actually, the second step wasn’t updated. 😉
Oops. Question was answered below. Never mind!
Tasty taters! I liked making the mashed potatoes with roasted, rather than boiled, potatoes. (And I didn’t use extra bowls for mixing and mashing. I simply did it all in the pan. Worked fine!)
