Directions
-
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
-
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
-
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.
-
Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and return them to the warm pot to steam dry for one minute.
-
While the potatoes cook, if using frozen peas, thaw them under warm water. If using fresh, blanch them for 2 minutes and drain.
-
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in the oil and black pepper, mixing until evenly distributed and the mixture is glossy.
-
Gently fold in the green peas, being careful not to crush them, to retain their bright color and texture.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with more black pepper if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
