Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 300 grams Zucchini
- 30 grams Unsalted Butter
- 60 ml Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and chop them into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.
Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and cut it into small slices.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the zucchini is soft. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Add the sautéed zucchini and garlic mixture to the pot with the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes and zucchini together using a potato masher or fork, until you reach your desired consistency.
Add the butter and milk to the mash, stirring to combine. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Season the mash with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
