Get ready to dive into each step as we turn humble red potatoes into a dish full of rich, comforting taste. Let’s bring this dish to life!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1.5 lbs red potatoes, washed and halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes:

Start by washing and halving the red potatoes. Make sure they’re similar in size for consistent cooking. The goal? Perfectly tender bites in every scoop!

2. Toss with Herbs & Seasoning:

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil or melted butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss to ensure each piece is coated with this aromatic mixture. The choice of olive oil or butter lets you control the richness of the dish!

3. Add Creamy Goodness:

Pour the heavy cream or whole milk into the bowl, stirring well to coat the potatoes in a luscious, creamy mixture. The cream will bind the herbs and seasoning, adding an extra layer of flavor.

4. Vacuum Seal the Potatoes:

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a vacuum-seal bag. For the best results, use your Avid Armor chamber vacuum sealer to remove air and lock in those rich, infused flavors.

5. Set Up Your Sous Vide:

Preheat your sous vide device to 185°F (85°C). The low, steady heat will allow the flavors to develop fully without overcooking.

6. Cook to Perfection:

Place the sealed bag in the preheated water bath and let the potatoes cook for 1.5 to 2 hours. Sous vide’s gentle precision makes every bite tender, creamy, and deeply infused with garlic-herb goodness.

7. Finishing Touches:

Carefully remove the bag from the water bath, then open it and transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl.

8. Mash It Up:

Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes to your desired consistency—smooth and creamy or slightly chunky for a bit of texture.

9. Serve & Savor:

Your Garlic Herb Infused Red Potatoes are ready! Serve them as a hearty side dish or enjoy them solo.
