Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-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.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
- In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat.
- Add the chopped garlic to the olive oil and gently cook until the garlic is fragrant and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return them to the hot pot.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth.
- Gradually pour the warm olive oil and garlic mixture into the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously until well combined.
- Add the milk and continue to stir until the mash reaches your desired consistency.
- Season the mash with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the olive oil & garlic mash to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
- Serve the olive oil & garlic mash warm as a side dish to your favorite main course. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for a fluffier texture.
- Roast the garlic cloves beforehand for a sweeter and more mellow garlic flavor.
- Use a potato masher or ricer for the best texture; avoid using a food processor to prevent the mash from becoming gluey.
- Warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes to keep the mixture hot and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and feel free to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
Olive Oil & Garlic Mash is a delicious and easy way to elevate your mashed potatoes. With its rich, garlicky flavor and creamy texture, it’s sure to become a favorite at your dining table.
