Description

Silky, rich mashed potatoes infused with garlic and extra virgin olive oil. The ultimate comfort side dish for holidays and dinner parties.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled & cubed
  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or cream, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter-infused olive oil (sub with grass-fed butter, melted)
  • 2 tablespoons wild mushroom & sage olive oil (sub with more melted butter)
  • sea salt
  • cracked black pepper


Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes & Garlic : Place potatoes and garlic cloves in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, approximately 15 – 20 minutes.
  2. Drain & Mash : Drain potatoes and garlic well. Return them to the pot. Mash until smooth using a potato masher or hand mixer.
  3. Add Flavor : Stir in warm milk, butter-infused olive oil, and wild mushroom & sage olive oil. Mix until creamy. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to your desired taste.
  4. Adjust Consistency : If needed, add a splash of warm milk for a looser consistency or mash in extra olive oil for more richness.

Notes

  • Warm milk prevents potatoes from becoming gluey.
  • Yukon golds create a buttery texture, but Russets can also be used.
  • For a gourmet touch, top with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
