Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters for quicker cooking.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the garlic cloves.

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Using a potato masher or fork, gently smash the potatoes.

    Pour the garlic oil mixture over the smashed potatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
