This easy version of mashed potatoes is a must-have for your Thanksgiving table or any time. It's dairy free and rich with lots of olive oil and garlic flavor. Olio Nuovo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is perfect in this dish
Bring water to a boil and add potatoes, garlic and 2 teaspoons salt and continue to boil until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic, saving 1 cup of cooking liquid.
Mash the potatoes and garlic together. Beat in the Olive Oil and then use the cooking liquid to thin to desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and drizzle with a little more oil!
