Provided by Lisa

Categories     Side Dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head of garlic
1/2 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 pounds yellow flesh potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup of potato cooking water - don't forget to save it before you drain the potatoes!
2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins and Toppings:
12 scallions, ends trimmed, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and a few parsley sprigs
A drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Slice off the top 1/2 inch off the garlic head to expose a cross-section of all the cloves. (see photo in post) Drizzle a teaspoon of oil over the exposed garlic. Wrap tightly with foil. Bake for 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skins and mash them with a fork.
  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by a couple of inches. Add two teaspoons of salt to the water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender enough for a knife to easily slide in and out.
  • Save a cup of the cooking water before draining. Drain potatoes. Return them to the cooking pot over medium heat, tossing them for a minute or so, until they're dry. Add the garlic. Mash the potatoes and garlic roughly, to combine. (I recommend using a potato masher) Add 6 tablespoons of olive oil and stir through with a fork or with the masher. Thin with potato water, a little at a time, until you're happy with the texture. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Stir chopped scallions and/or parsley into the potatoes, if using.
  • Serve hot. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, if you like. (it looks nice) and garnish with some chopped parsley or parsley sprigs.

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled (about 1 head)
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream, half-and-half, or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring the garlic and oil to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned. Turn off the heat and set aside. The garlic will continue to cook in the oil.
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. With a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the water, reserving the cooking water, and remove the garlic from the oil, reserving the oil.
  • Process the potatoes and garlic through a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Add the reserved olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, the pepper, cream, and 3/4 cup of the cooking water to the potatoes and mix with a wooden spoon. Add more cooking water, if necessary, until the potatoes are creamy but still firm. Season, to taste, and serve hot.

GARLIC MASHED POTATO WITH OLIVE OIL

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 GARLIC MASHED POTATOES



Olive Oil Garlic Mashed Potatoes image

I love this recipe! Personally, I like potatoes that have an irregular texture, so I'm posting the recipe like that. You might want to use more broth and another mashing technique if you like them smoother and lighter.

Provided by Elie de Combys

Categories     Mashed Potatoes

Time 35m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 medium yellow potatoes
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 pinch black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes, unpeeled, in a pot and cover them with cold unsalted water. They will be much tastier if you cook them without peeling.
  • 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. They must still be somewhat firm, as opposed to grainy.
  • Drain and place them back into the pot, on the stove, and shake them until they are dry.
  • Peel them with a knife. Try to take away as little flesh as possible, it's ok if there's a small amount of skin left.
  • Put them back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients and mash with a potato masher until you have lumpy puree. This puree will be quite heavy and is made to be that way.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold potatoes, which are known for their creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • Make sure to peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until they are tender. Do not overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic, or it will become bitter.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the hot olive oil and garlic to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, topped with additional olive oil and garlic if desired.
