This mashed potato recipe is food for the poor, for the people… but much of its appeal lies precisely in this purity. They are also very good. It is usually a favorite dish of children. and complements any menu very well. Honestly, they’re perfect to eat alone. Amounts are indicative. We can calculate about 200-250 grams of potatoes per dinner and from there add oil and lemon to taste. It should be a rustic and thick but very juicy puree with a blend of spices that absorbs much better when hot. Of course, you have to be generous with the lemon juice because it makes a difference, both in terms of the quality of the oil.

First, we wash and dry the potatoes. Then peel and put in a large pot or casserole. Add a little salt, cover with cold water and place on the stove, preferably with a lid, to save energy and time. Bring to a boil, taking care not to boil too quickly. cook until pierced with a sharp knife.
The duration will depend on the size and type of potatoes, as well as the strength of the fire. However, it will be about 25-30 minutes. Yes definitely, they shouldn’t be too soft even though we want to be able to crush them without too much effort.
Drain the water and put it in a bowl or leave it in the pot where the residual heat can help us season it. After that we start mashing with a fork (it may be easier if we break the ends first) and add a pinch of fine salt and a good amount of oil.

We continue to mash and mix by adding the juice of the lemons according to their size. Of course, we will strain it beforehand so that there is no bone and pulp. We’ll continue the mashing and seasoning process by adding more oil and some freshly ground pepper (optional). We test and adjust to taste. The final texture should be like thick rustic mashed potatoes.without too many thick lumps, but not with honey either.
These mashed potatoes like to be eaten hot, but they are also very good cold. Despite it is better to let them temper outside the refrigerator. Just before tasting we will add some oil and/or lemon and optionally freshly ground pepper. Originally as a modest meal, it was only eaten for dinner, but nowadays it is recommended to be served as a side dish.
