Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Tahini (sesame paste)
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for drizzling)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and fill with cold water until the potatoes are fully submerged.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
If using garlic, add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot with the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
When the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the warm pot to release steam for 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter, tahini, and warm milk to the pot with the potatoes.
Using a potato masher or electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the salt and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy your flavorful Tahini Mashed Potatoes!
