Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

A tasty recipe to kick up your potatoes.

  • 4 pounds red potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • ½ cup good quality extra virgin olive oil

Wash potatoes well and place in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are cooked. Strain into a large colander in the sink. Let sit and steam for 2 minutes. Transfer back to pot and mash with a large fork or potato masher. Season with sea salt and pepper. Next drizzle half the olive oil on to the potatoes and fold in. Repeat with the rest of the oil and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Makes about 8 cups.
