Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes
By Joanne Weir
This Recipe Is:
(Serves 8)
3 pounds starchy baking potatoes, peeled and quartered (I leave the skins on and just cut them a little smaller to make them easier to mash)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup 2 percent milk
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup snipped fresh chives (or 1 T. dried chopped chives)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black
1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan.
2. Add the oil and milk to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes while the pan is still over the heat, then add the vinegar, chives, salt, and pepper. Taste and season with additional oil, vinegar, or salt as needed to desired consistency.
