To make a change from plain old mash potatoes I will sometimes perk them up a bit. One nice addition to a mash, especially when combined with strong flavours like beef or a hearty sausage, is to add 1 - 2 cloves of roasted garlic to the potatoes before mashing.

I don't have a recipe of my own for this, but found this simple recipe for making roasted garlic over at All Recipes UK.

I love to add a bit of garlic, and top with fresh chopped green onions and parsley. Even Basil would be good. A dollop of sour cream would send it right over the edge. I hope you like it!

Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, is a Mediterranean herb with a strong woodsy scent which goes very well with most roasted meats as it adds flavour and helps to break down the fat. It is one of the components of bouquet garni.
