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 if desired.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over low heat until warm. Do not let it boil.
4. Drain and Mash:
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander, shaking off any excess water.
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot.
- Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
- Gradually stir in the olive oil, mixing thoroughly until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
- Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and add it to the potato mixture. Stir to combine.
- Slowly pour the warm milk into the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust as needed.
- For an extra citrusy kick, add a bit more lemon juice if desired.
- Serve the Olive Oil and Lemon Potato Mash warm, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you like.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes, like Russets or Yukon Golds, for a fluffier mash.
- Ensure the potatoes are cut into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
- Don't overmix the potatoes to avoid a gummy texture; mash them just until smooth.
- Use warm milk to incorporate smoothly into the potatoes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
By following these steps and tips, you'll create a wonderfully creamy and flavorful olive oil and lemon potato mash that will impress your family and guests. This easy and elegant side dish is sure to become a staple in your culinary repertoire.
