Olio Nuovo Mashed Potatoes
This easy version of mashed potatoes is a must-have for your Thanksgiving table or any time. It's dairy free and rich with lots of olive oil and garlic flavor. Olio Nuovo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is perfect in this dish
Ingredients:
2 pounds Yukon Gold or your favorite for mashing, peeled (or not if you like them that way) and cut into 1-inch chunks
8 garlic cloves, peeled
Salt
¼ cup The Olive Tap’s Olio Nuovo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Bring water to a boil and add potatoes, garlic and 2 teaspoons salt and continue to boil until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic, saving 1 cup of cooking liquid.
Mash the potatoes and garlic together. Beat in the Olio Nuovo and then use the cooking liquid to thin to desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and drizzle with a little more Olio Nuovo!
