Ingredients

7 – 8 creme gold washed potatoes or any washed potatoes
4 – 5 garlic cloves – grated (to taste)
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons white vinegar (to taste)
3 – 4 tablespoons olive oil (to taste)
parsley & chilli – garnish (optional)
1/3 cup of boiled potato water (as required)

Instructions

Wash and potatoes soaking in a bowl of water for 10 minutes.
Cut potatoes into quarters and add to a pot of water, boiling potatoes for 20 minutes.
Check potatoes to ensure they are soft in texture.
Remove water from the pot, leaving a little boiled water which will help the mashing process, adding additional boiled water (1/3 of a cup – as required).
Add 1 tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoons white vinegar and 3 or 4 tablespoons olive oil.
Mash all ingredients thoroughly and add 4 – 5 grated garlic cloves into the potato mixture.
Mash to your liking, we prefer the mixture to be a little chunky in texture (use a blender if you prefer a smooth and silky texture).
Taste and add any additional salt, vinegar or olive oil (to taste).
