Ingredients
- new potatoes (thin skinned, red ones)
- salt
- olive oil (infused with herbs...if not available, just use plain extra virgin)
- non-hydrogenated vegan margarine (optional)
Peel potatoes and cut into small chunks. I approximate about one small potato per serving. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain them in a colander and immediately put them in a large bowl. Add olive oil (few TBSP at a time) and a pinch of salt. Whip up with the electric mixer on high speed while the potatoes are still hot. Mix very well for about 5 minutes. Note: a food processor or blender will not work or your potatoes will taste very "gluey". I believe the mixer is an essential tool because you want to get enough "air" into them so they are fluffy and whipped. Adjust the taste with olive oil and salt. I think the olive oil adds sooo much flavor to the potatoes and suggest that no soy milk be added to it. This is so flavorful that I usually serve/eat it with no type of gravy at all. Kids love it too!! Enjoy!!
