Instructions

  • Go ahead and peel the potatoes and rinse them. Cut them in half.
  • Place the potatoes in a pot, on a steamer insert, or in a Dutch oven with a similar insert at the bottom. Fill the bottom of the steamer with water, making sure it doesn’t touch the potatoes.
    Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes for 15 minutes with the lid on.
    Check for doneness with the tip of a knife.
  • Meanwhile, peel and remove the germ from the garlic by first crushing each clove with the flat side of a knife. It will be much easier after that!
  • Remove the water and the steamer insert from the pot or casserole dish, return the potatoes to the pot, and mash them using a potato masher or, if you don't have one, a fork.
    Don’t use a blender, or you’ll lose the whole point of the mashed potatoes and they’ll turn into a puree!

  • Add the oil and crushed garlic, season with salt and pepper, give it a few stirs, and it's ready!
