GARLIC MASHED POTATO WITH OLIVE OIL



Garlic mashed potato with olive oil image

Make Delia's garlic mash potato recipe even better with a glug of garlic infused olive oil.

Provided by Delia Smith

Categories     Side dishes

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

900g/2lb potatoes (Désirée or King Edward)
50g/2oz butter
3 fat garlic cloves, halved lengthways
8 tbsp best quality extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly millled black pepper

Steps:

  • First place the garlic and olive oil in a small saucepan over the gentlest heat possible - a heat diffuser is good for this - and leave for 1 hour for the garlic to infuse and become really soft.
  • Use a potato peeler to pare off the skins as thinly as possible and then cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, not too small. If they are large, quarter them and if they are small, halve them.
  • Put the potato chunks in a large saucepan, then pour boiling water over them, add 1 dessertspoon of salt, put on a lid and simmer gently until they are absolutely tender - they should take approximately 25 minutes. The way to tell whether they are ready is to pierce them with a skewer in the thickest part; the potato should not be hard in the centre. And you need to be careful here, because if they are slightly underdone you do get lumps.
  • When the potatoes are cooked, drain them. Cover them with a clean tea cloth to absorb some of the steam for about 5 minutes, then using an electric whisk on a low speed, begin to break them up using half the garlic and oil. As soon as all that is incorporated, add the rest of the garlic and oil and whisk until smooth, seasoning well with salt and freshly milled black pepper.

OLIVE OIL MASHED POTATOES



Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes image

Try this recipe for a delicious Italian rendition of mashed potatoes. I recall that my grandma would fork-mash boiled potatoes, drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Here I added some roasted garlic cloves, very much an Italian American favorite.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 heads garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds medium russet potatoes
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut off the tips on each garlic head, then place each garlic head on a square of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap the foil to seal. Roast in the oven until the garlic is tender throughout (about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the garlic head). Let cool slightly, then squeeze the garlic cloves into a small bowl and mash with the remaining olive oil and the salt.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a pot with water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer, and cook until tender all the way through-about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on size. Let the potatoes cool slightly, then peel and set aside. In the pot used to cook the potatoes, warm the milk over low heat. Add the potatoes and garlic paste, and coarsely mash with a potato masher. Serve hot.

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  • Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • When the garlic is about halfway done, place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. When poked with a fork, they should break once. Drain.
  • Remove garlic from the oven. Squeeze garlic from each clove into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
  • Return potatoes to the pot and mix with cream cheese, margarine, milk, sour cream, and garlic. Mix in salt and pepper.
