If you swap dairy milk for nut milk, this lovely side dish becomes vegan-friendly, too.
Ingredients
- 700 g red potatoes, skin on
- 80 ml (⅓ cup) extra-virgin olive oil
- 150 ml warm milk
- salt flakes and freshly ground
- white or black pepper
Instructions
1. Fill a saucepan with cold salted water, drop in the potatoes and simmer over medium–high heat for 25–30 minutes or until tender. Drain well, then peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer or mash with a masher while still hot.
2. Add the olive oil and three-quarters of the warm milk and beat well with a wooden spoon. Add a little more milk if it is too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
