Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These olive oil mashed potatoes offer a sophisticated, dairy-free alternative to the traditional buttery classic. By using a high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, you infuse the dish with a rich, fruity depth that complements the natural earthiness of the Yukon Gold potatoes. This technique results in a remarkably silky texture that feels indulgent while remaining entirely plant-based, making it an excellent choice for a variety of dietary requirements.

As a versatile vegan side dish, this mash is perfect for Sunday roasts or as a base for roasted Mediterranean vegetables. The secret lies in using the starchy cooking water to emulsify the oil, ensuring the potatoes are light rather than heavy. It is a heart-healthy, homemade staple that brings a touch of Mediterranean flair to your dinner table.
