Steps
Add the potatoes and garlic to a large pot of salted water. Simmer over medium heat. Cook the potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Reserve about a cup of the cooking water by dipping a coffee mug into the pot to collect the liquid. Then drain the cooked potatoes and garlic.
Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot. Using a potato masher, start mashing the potatoes and garlic.
Pour in the olive oil. Continue to mash, adding a little of the reserved cooking water at a time, as needed, to thin out the potatoes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, and continue to mash until they reach your desired creaminess.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with minced chives, if using.

Sheri on 2023-08-12 (5 stars): I am not vegan, but I have had hormone dependent breast cancer and don't eat dairy except organic part-skim mozzarella on pizza occasionally. I liked your recipe! I put in both chives and dill that I wanted to use up. They were delicious 😋. Thank you.
Linda on 2019-08-25 (5 stars): I made these today, together with your recipe for oven roasted mushrooms and pine nuts. Both were amazingly good! That and a salad was our dinner! Super easy to make and so delicious. They will be used as sides for holiday dinners as well! Keep these wonderful recipes coming.
