Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine the melted butter, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss until everything is well coated.

Step 3

Spread potatoes into a buttered 9×13 pan.

Step 4

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and transfer potatoes and all the seasonings/butter into a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. Once they’re mashed almost completely, stir in the warmed half & half and chicken broth.

Step 6

Continue mashing until they’ve reached your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 7

Serve immediately or keep warm, covered in the oven until ready to serve.
