4min read
We know, most of you - maybe even all of you - want roast potatoes on your Christmas table. But in the slight chance that even one of you prefers mash to a roasted potatoes (or wants both on their plate), here's a recipe for a 5-ingredient creamy, velvety mash.
Prep Time
10mins
Cook Time
35mins
Serves
6
Ingredients
1 kg potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
Sea salt and pepper
2 tbsp chives, chopped
Method
STEP 1
Transfer the potatoes to a large pot with cold water (covering the potatoes by around 3 cm) and 2 tbsp salt.
STEP 2
Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
STEP 3
Save 250ml of the cooking water, then drain the potatoes. Add the olive oil to the same (now empty) pot and heat. Add the minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until golden.
STEP 4
Add the drained potatoes, along with 50ml of the reserved water. Mix with a potato masher, adding extra reserved water until you reach your desired mash consistency.
STEP 5
Serve topped with freshly ground black pepper and chopped chives.
