Directions

  1. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Place diced potatoes in a stockpot and fill with cold water until covered by 1 inch. Bring to a low boil and immediately reduce to a medium simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender. Test a few pieces by tasting them. Drain potatoes and place in a full-size 4-inch steamtable pan.
  2. Add sliced olives and diced red pepper to the cooked potatoes
  3. Combine the vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, minced garlic, salt and red pepper flakes in a blender. Blend until well combined and emulsified.

  4. Just before serving sprinkle freshly chopped parsley

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These wonderful mashed potatoes are inspired by the Lebanese Mediterranean style of cooking. Olive oil and yogurt provide richness and complexity, instead of the usual butter and sour cream. Choose a mild olive oil. Yukon gold potatoes really shine in this recipe! Garlic cloves cook in the pot along with buttery potatoes, mashing up beautifully for yet another savory layer of flavor.
