Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion. Finely chop the garlic.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 35–40 minutes.

Step 3

In a saucepan, combine the potatoes, garlic, and enough water to cover the potatoes completely. Add salt, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the water.

Step 4

Return the potatoes with garlic to the saucepan, add the remaining olive oil, season with salt, and mash with a potato masher, adding the reserved water to achieve the desired consistency.
