- 2 pounds potatoes (red, Yukon, or Russet all work) roughly chopped into 1-2 inch chunks
- 2 large garlic cloves peeled, but whole
- 3 Tablespoons butter I use salted
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- 4-5 Tablespoons reserved potato water
Add the potatoes, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a large pot.
Cover with 1-2 inches of water.
Boil, uncovered, for 16-18 minutes or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and garlic, but reserve at least one cup of the water.
Add the drained potatoes back to the pot (you can remove the garlic at this point or mash it in for a stronger flavor).
Add in the butter, olive oil, remaining salt, pepper, and about three tablespoons of potato water.
Mash the potatoes and add more potato water as needed for desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
