Olive Oil Garlic Mashed Potatoes

1. 1

   Place the potatoes, unpeeled, in a pot and cover them with cold unsalted water.

2. 2

   They will be much tastier if you cook them without peeling.

3. 3

   Bring them to a boil, covered, then take the lid off and reduce the heat to medium (or higher so it doesn't stop boiling), and cook for 25-30 minutes or until they are easily pierced with a fork.

4. 4

   They must still be somewhat firm, as opposed to grainy.

5. 5

   Drain and place them back into the pot, on the stove, and shake them until they are dry.

6. 6

   Peel them with a knife.

7. 7

   Try to take away as little flesh as possible, it's ok if there's a small amount of skin left.

8. 8

   Put them back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients and mash with a potato masher until you have lumpy puree.

9. 9

   This puree will be quite heavy and is made to be that way.
