Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, scrubbed clean (you can use Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 head of roasted garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Have one head of roasted garlic cooked and ready to go (I usually make a few heads at a time so I can use them as a head start ingredients for salad dressings, hummus and to spread on toast).
- Cut potatoes into hearty chunks. Place into a medium sized pot and cover with enough water to come about an inch above the potatoes. Place over a high heat and bring to a boil. Allow potatoes to boil for about 5-10 minutes or until the chunks are fork tender.
- Drain water from potatoes and put the potatoes back into the warm pot. Add olive oil, roasted garlic cloves, salt and pepper.
- Use potato masher (or the back of a fork) to mash the potatoes until you have a nice, hearty, rustic mash. Adjust seasonings and enjoy!
