to taste
1. Boil Potatoes and Garlic
Set a large saucepan of water on high heat and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully add in your prepared potatoes and garlic along with 2 teaspoons of salt. Adjust the heat to maintain a brisk simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork and are tender but not falling apart.
2. Drain and Reserve Liquid
Drain the potatoes and garlic using a colander, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid for later.
3. Mash Potatoes
Mash the potatoes and garlic in the saucepan using a potato masher or a sturdy fork until they transform into a fluffy, garlicky mix.
4. Add Olive Oil
Pour in the olive oil and gently beat it into the mashed potatoes, adding a rich, smooth texture and an aromatic depth.
5. Adjust Consistency and Season
If the mash is too thick, gradually mix in a little of the reserved cooking liquid until you reach your preferred consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
