Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These wonderful mashed potatoes are inspired by the Lebanese Mediterranean style of cooking. Olive oil and yogurt provide richness and complexity, instead of the usual butter and sour cream. Choose a mild olive oil. Yukon gold potatoes really shine in this recipe! Garlic cloves cook in the pot along with buttery potatoes, mashing up beautifully for yet another savory layer of flavor.
