This is a seriously authentically flavoured oil, which was utterly delicious as an accompaniment dip for my bourbon maple red onion and feta sourdough bread (yes, this infused bread was made with one of the balsamics). The smokiness was the perfect intense-level for me personally, and it brought my appetiser to a whole new level. One of your best!

Enjoy the exquisite richness of these dairy-free mashed potatoes, a flawless vegetarian or vegan side dish for Thanksgiving! Our secret? A blend of Garlic Infused Olive Oil and Savory Butter Infused Olive Oil, specially crafted with vegetal extracts to mimic that buttery taste, imparting creaminess and flavor. A gentle touch of Bianco Balsamic vinegar not only harmonizes the potato's richness but also offers a fresh twist on this timeless classic. It's an absolute culinary delight!
Ingredients:
3 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled and large diced
3/4 cup warm vegetable broth
2 tablespoons Garlic Infused Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Savory Butter Infused Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Bianco Balsamic Vinegar
2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons Fleur de Sel
1-2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Fill a large pot 3/4-full with water and boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Using a potato masher or hand mixer, partially mash the potatoes. Add the broth, Garlic EVOO, Savory Butter EVOO, vinegar, and salt, and continue to mash until smooth. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chives and black pepper before serving. You can also drizzle with some additional olive oil.
