Black olive and feta potato mash is a delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes, elevating it with the rich flavors of olive and the tangy taste of feta cheese. This recipe offers a Mediterranean flair, making it a unique and flavorful side dish for any meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
- Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
- Add the butter to the mashed potatoes and stir until it is melted and well combined.
- Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to mash and stir until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. You can adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Stir in the chopped black olives and crumbled feta cheese until they are evenly distributed throughout the mash.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Be cautious with the salt, as feta cheese can be quite salty.
- Transfer the black olive and feta potato mash to a serving dish.
- Optional: Garnish with a few extra pieces of chopped olives or crumbled feta on top for presentation.
- Serve the potato mash warm, as a delicious side dish to your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamier mash.
- To ensure a smoother mash, use warm milk and butter. Cold ingredients can make the potatoes gummy.
- For a burst of flavor, consider adding a clove of garlic while boiling the potatoes.
- Drain the potatoes well before mashing to avoid a watery consistency.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, use a potato masher. For a smoother finish, a potato ricer or electric mixer works best.
- Add the black olives and feta gradually, adjusting to your taste preference.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, but be mindful of the saltiness from the feta and olives.
Black olive and feta potato mash is a simple yet flavorful dish that's sure to impress. The combination of creamy potatoes, savory olives, and tangy feta cheese creates a delectable side dish that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it with your favorite main courses, and savor the Mediterranean flavors in every bite.
