Creamy White Bean and Vegetable Mash image

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cups cooked white beans, drained (equivalent to one 16-ounce can)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, and carrot until translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add potatoes and white beans and cover with water by 2 inches.
