Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and return them to the warm pot to steam dry for one minute.
  5. While the potatoes cook, if using frozen peas, thaw them under warm water. If using fresh, blanch them for 2 minutes and drain.
  6. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Stir in the oil and black pepper, mixing until evenly distributed and the mixture is glossy.
  8. Gently fold in the green peas, being careful not to crush them, to retain their bright color and texture.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with more black pepper if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
