Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes -- peeled and quartered

- such as Yukon Gold or Yellowfin

8 cloves garlic -- peeled

- and left whole

1 sprig fresh rosemary -- optional

coarse sea salt

5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

freshly milled black pepper

 

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

 

Here's a great, dairy-free recipe for mashed potatoes. If you like

butter, you can substitute it for the oil, but it's equally good

either way. For tasty potato croquettes that will use up any

leftovers (if there any), shape them into patties, dredge them in

bread crumbs, and panfry them in oil until crisp. They go really well

with the All-Purpose Savory Gravy.

 

 

In a large pot over high heat, combine the potatoes with enough cold

water to cover by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to

medium-low and add the garlic, rosemary, and 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer

covered, for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Drain,

reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. remove and discard the

rosemary.

 

Mash the potatoes well. Slowly add the oil and beat in with a stiff

wire whisk or wooden spoon until fluffy and creamy. Adjust the

consistency with a bit of the reserved water, if necessary.

 

Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
