Olive oil & garlic mash

Olive Oil & Garlic Mash is a flavorful twist on the classic mashed potatoes. This recipe combines the richness of olive oil and the aromatic essence of garlic to create a creamy and delightful side dish that's perfect for any meal. It's simple to make and requires only a few basic ingredients.

Ingredients:

6 potatoes
1200g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Garlic:
- While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
4. Heat the Olive Oil:
- 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.
5. Mash the Potatoes:
- 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.
6. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
7. Season:
- Season the mash with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the olive oil & garlic mash to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
9. Enjoy:
- 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. Serve it alongside your favorite main dishes, and enjoy this comforting and aromatic side that everyone will love.
