Olive Oil Herb Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, add a generous pinch of salt and simmer over medium heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer them to a plate to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the shallot, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
• Using your fingers, lightly crush the potatoes and transfer to the large bowl. Add the olive oil and mix gently, then fold in the arugula, parsley, dill and chives. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve right away.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring just to a simmer and cook the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
• Peel the potatoes and return them to the pot (if desired, pass them through a ricer or food mill after peeling). Mash the potatoes with the milk and olive oil using a fork or potato masher. Stir in the chives, dill, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer briskly until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the water. Return the potatoes to the pan. Shake the pan over medium heat for about a minute to dry the potatoes. Remove from the heat. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and the reserved cooking water to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes, skins and all, with a traditional potato masher to an even consistency. Fold in the herbs and season with salt. Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Prick potatoes several times with a fork. Place on a piece of paper toweling and cook at 100 percent for 11 minutes, or until tender, in a 650- to 700-watt oven.
• Remove potatoes from oven. When cool enough to handle, halve each potato and scoop out flesh with a spoon. Pass through a ricer or place in a bowl and mash with a potato masher. Stir in oil and salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with salted cold water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Smash the potatoes with a large fork or potato masher.
• Add lemon zest and olive oil. Fold into potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
