Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes
Recipe by Louis Tikaram
Ingredients
1 kg peeled and large diced potatoes
8 garlic cloves
2 tsp Coles sea salt
1/4 cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp chopped chives
Pinch of Coles black pepper
Method
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add the potatoes, garlic, and salt to the boiling water and cook on high simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and garlic, reserving some of the cooking liquid.
Mash the potatoes and garlic together.
Fold in the olive oil and thin the mixture to a smooth consistency with the reserved cooking liquid. Adjust the amount of liquid to your preferred consistency (I like my mash to be able to be dolloped when serving).
Check the seasoning and serve the mashed potatoes with chopped chives sprinkled over the top and another drizzle of olive oil.
