Ingredients
- 2.5 LBS Potatoes (waxy, new potatoes)
- 3 Cloves Garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
- ¼ Cup Shallot, roughly chopped
- 3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
- ⅓ Cup Olive Oil
- 3 teaspoon Kosher Salt plus 1 teaspoon set aside
- Fresh Cracked Pepper
Instructions
- Heat a pot of water over high heat (approximately 12 cups). Add the 3 teaspoon salt (be careful as the water will expand when you add the salt).
- Add the garlic, shallots and 2 sprigs of thyme. When the water boils, add in the potatoes carefully so the boiling water doesn’t splash.
- Cook the potatoes for 15 minutes or until fork tender. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid before draining the potatoes. Drain and put back into the pan over medium heat. Cook off any excess water for 1-2 minutes.
- Roughly smash the potatoes with a wooden spoon. Add the olive oil, salt and cracked pepper. Mix well. Add some of the reserved cooking liquid until the desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasonings.
- Serve hot, topped with some fresh thyme. Happy eating!
