Preparation:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the potatoes, garlic and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Cover the pan and simmer over moderate heat until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and garlic well, and pass them through a ricer or mash them with a potato masher.
3. Stir in the milk and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the mashed potatoes with the olive oil and serve. |
