Set garlic/rosemary mixture aside and reserve separately.
3.When potatoes are cooked drain carefully and let them rest in the pot for about 30 seconds to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Transfer to bowl with infused oil season to taste with a little more salt and pepper and toss to coat shaking bowl roughly until a thick layer of mashed potato–like paste has built up on the potato chunks.For Full Instructions You Can Visit : seriouseats.com
