Mashed Red Potatoes

Ingredients

2 pounds of red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 tablespoons of butter 

1 tablespoon of minced garlic 

1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt 

1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil 

Minced chives, for garnish 

Directions

1. Place raw red potato cubes into a large steamer basket over a large pot of boiling water. Cover and steam until very tender, 25 to 30 minutes. 

2. When potatoes are nearly tender, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the salt and olive oil; stir until just heated through, then remove from the heat. 

3. Transfer the tender potatoes to a large bowl. Pour olive oil mixture over and mash with a potato masher to your desired consistency. Garnish with chives.
