Method
0 of 3 done- Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot, add a generous amount of salt, and cover with cold water by about 2.5 cm. Bring to the boil with the lid on, then reduce the heat and simmer partially covered until the potatoes are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Chop the chives.
- Reserve a cup of the cooking water, then drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Add the olive oil, a pinch of pepper, the chives, the remaining salt, and half of the reserved water. Mash with a potato masher or fork, adding more of the reserved water if you prefer a looser texture.
