Creamy Rosemary Sheep’s Milk Mashed Potatoes

A Farm-to-Table Twist on a Classic

As you plan your Thanksgiving feast, there’s one side dish that’s always a must: mashed potatoes. This year, give them a farm-fresh upgrade with Green Dirt Farm’s Rosemary Fresh Sheep’s Milk Cheese and our locally produced sheep milk, available at both of our shops — in Weston (Green Dirt Farm Creamery) and in Kansas City’s Crossroads district at Green Dirt on Oak, or on our website.

The natural richness of sheep milk adds a velvety smoothness you simply can’t get from cow’s milk, while the creamy tang of our Fresh cheese brings out delicate rosemary and garlic notes. It’s everything you love about mashed potatoes — only dreamier, more flavorful, and unmistakably Green Dirt. Serves 4-6

🥔 Ingredients

• 3 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks (peel if preferred)
• 5 cloves garlic, peeled
• 8 oz. Green Dirt Farm Rosemary Fresh Sheep’s Milk Cheese, at room temperature
• 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½–1 cup Green Dirt Farm Sheep Milk, warmed (or whole milk/cream if needed)
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Boil the potatoes: Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot with a tablespoon of salt. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20–25 minutes, until soft.
2. Mash: Drain well and return to the pot. Mash by hand or pass through a food mill or ricer for a smoother texture.
3. Add the flavor: Stir in the Rosemary Fresh Sheep’s Milk Cheese and butter while the potatoes are still hot, until fully melted and creamy.
4. Adjust texture: Add Green Dirt Farm Sheep Milk a splash at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Season and serve: Add salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Garnish with extra rosemary or a drizzle of melted butter if you’re feeling fancy.

🌿 Serving Ideas & Tips

Stop by either of our Shops — Green Dirt Farm Creamery in Weston or at Green Dirt on Oak in the Crossroads — to pick up the sheep milk and Fresh cheese used in this recipe.

Use our Plain Fresh for a milder version, or Garlic & Herb Fresh for a bold twist.

Roast the garlic first for a deeper, sweeter flavor.

Pair with roast lamb, turkey, or herb-crusted pork chops for a perfect holiday meal.
