These olive oil mashed potatoes are super simple to make. Taking advantage of the complex flavor of olive oil, they are surprisingly delicious. They also just happen to be vegan.
Ingredients
- 3.25 tos 3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 garlics cloves
- 0.75 cups extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
-
1
Add peeled and quartered potatoes to a sauce pan. Cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Season with salt and garlic, and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
-
2
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until potatoes are very soft, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and add back into the pot or into a bowl.
-
3
Use a potato masher to mash potatoes until very smooth. Switch to a whisk or electric hand mixer, and whip in the olive oil in two additions.
-
4
Season to taste with salt; serve with more olive oil drizzled over the top if desired.
