Ingredients

  1. 2 1/2 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes, halved
  2. Kosher salt
  3. 1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh Italian parsley (about 1 bunch)
  4. 1/4 cup olive oil
  5. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  6. 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  7. 1 small clove garlic
  8. 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  9. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water; stir in 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, combine the parsley, olive oil, chives, oregano, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender and puree until almost smooth. If it needs more liquid, add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture blends easily.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Pour in the warm milk and melted butter and coarsely mash with a potato masher. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and top with the herb oil.

Simple and delicious! I used baby spinach instead of parsley. And 2% milk.

Very tasty!!

Made a much smaller version of this for two but used the same ingredients. Fresh herbs make the difference. Delicious!

One of my favorite go to dishes as a flavorful side. It is simple and bright, rounded flavor.

I made this with the beef shanks and vegetable salad.  The potatoes were very tasty.  A little extra work but I would do again.  I was really good with the gravy from the beef.
