Healthy Mashed Potatoes without Butter
These mashed potatoes without butter are creamy, comforting and delicious. The potatoes are mashed with olive oil, which adds a great flavour and texture. Plus, olive oil is a healthy choice which makes this dairy-free mashed potato low in saturated fat.
Equipment
- saucepan
- potato masher, ricer or food mixer
Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes
- 3 tbs olive oil
- seasoning
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut into pieces the size of a large walnut.
- Add the potatoes to a pan with a pinch of salt and cover with cold water. Place a lid on the pan and bring up to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 12 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked right through. A knife should easily go through the potato.
- Drain the pan, and leave the potatoes for a couple of minutes for the steam to evaporate.
- Add the olive oil and seasoning to the potatoes and mash well. Use either a potato masher or a ricer. You can also use a food mixer on a low speed.
- Serve your dairy-free mashed potatoes piping hot.
Notes
- If you prefer you can leave the potatoes unpeeled. The finished result will look a little more rustic but still taste delicious.
- Make sure the potatoes are fully cooked before you mash them, otherwise you may end up with lumps.
- Never mash potatoes in a food processor or blender as they'll go like glue!
