  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 8 medium Yellow Finn potatoes, scrubbed and cut into large pieces
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 6 cloves garlic
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Add garlic and season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; immediately reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
  2. Drain potatoes, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Return potatoes and garlic to saucepan, along with butter, olive oil, and cooking liquid. Mash, using a potato masher, and season with salt and pepper; keep warm until serving.
