Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 large baking potatoes (about 4 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut crosswise into thirds
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in heavy large pot. Cover with cold water. Boil over medium-high heat until potatoes are tender when pierced with fork, about 40 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups potato cooking liquid. Return potatoes to dry pot. Stir over medium heat until any excess liquid evaporates. Add 6 tablespoons olive oil and mash until almost smooth. Mix in enough potato cooking liquid as needed to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over medium heat, adding more reserved cooking water as needed to moisten.)
  • Transfer potatoes to large bowl. Drizzle with remaining tablespoon olive oil and serve.

These potatoes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm allergic to olive oil, so I substituted it with butter. The potatoes were still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touch. I usually add a bit of roasted garlic and fresh herbs.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
