A healthier, dairy-free twist on classic mashed potatoes, using extra virgin olive oil for a smooth, creamy texture and a rich, slightly fruity flavor. Perfect as a side dish for any meal, these mashed potatoes are light yet indulgent.
Origin of Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes date back to the 18th century, but using olive oil instead of butter and cream is a Mediterranean-inspired variation. This version is particularly popular in regions like Italy and Greece, where high-quality olive oil is a staple in cooking.
What I Love About This Recipe
I love how simple yet luxurious these mashed potatoes taste. The olive oil enhances the natural creaminess of the potatoes without making them heavy. Plus, they’re dairy-free and vegan-friendly, making them a versatile side dish for any occasion.
