Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes (floury, peeled and cut into pieces)
- 3 cloves garlic (unpeeled)
- 100 ml milk (or more to taste)
- 50 g butter
- 50 ml olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 lemon (zest and 1 tbsp juice)
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- 1 handful parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 handful chives (finely chopped)
Instructions
Preparation
- Zest 1 lemon and squeeze it. Finely chop 1 handful parsley and 1 handful chives
Cooking
- Boil 1 kg potatoes together with the unpeeled 3 cloves garlic in plenty of salted water for 15-20 minutes. Test the doneness by pricking it with a fork - it should go through easily.
- Remove the garlic cloves from the water. Squeeze out the soft flesh and mash it with a fork into a smooth paste.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them immediately into a fine base. Make the puree smooth by stirring in 50 g butter, 50 ml olive oil and 100 ml milk (heated).
- Refine the flavour with the garlic paste, fresh lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Finishing
- Sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley and chives on top.
