Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb large boiling potatoes
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel and quarter potatoes. Put potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a 3-quart pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, covered with lid, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot. Add oil, pepper, chives (if using), remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup cooking water and mash with a potato masher or fork. Add more cooking water for a looser consistency.
