If you've got a smaller family, use leftovers from this recipe to make some soup this week!
Ingredients
1 bag white or yellow potatoes (not russets)
4 cloves garlic, divided
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
2 bunches chives
1 lemon, juiced
Water as needed
½ tsp salt and pepper plus 1 pinch salt (for later)
Instructions
- In a large stock pot, add potatoes then fill with water to cover. Add a big pinch of salt and cook potatoes whole until soft (about 30 minutes). If you’re in a hurry, cube potatoes in 2-inch chunks first then add to the water.
- While potatoes are cooking, add half of the garlic, half of the olive oil, chives, lemon juice + salt and pepper to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Once potatoes are done, drain off water and add to the bowl of an electric mixer (or if you don’t have one, just add to a large bowl and do this by hand). Add the rest of the garlic and olive oil plus a pinch of salt and using the whisk attachment (or a potato masher if doing by hand) beat potatoes until they are light and fluffy.
- To serve, place potatoes in a large serving bowl, make a well in the center and add chive sauce.
