Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold salted water and bring to the boil over high heat. Cook until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a small sharp knife (12-15 minutes), drain and return to pan. Allow steam to evaporate, then beat in a little butter at a time with a wooden spoon until well incorporated and smooth. Add milk, whisk well until smooth and fluffy, stir in olive oil and season to taste. Serve immediately, drizzled with extra olive oil, if desired.
