Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • ⅔ cup vegetable stock
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced See note
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a medium to large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water by at least an inch. Bring the potatoes to a boil and boil for 13 minutes or until they're soft and easily pierced with a fork.

  • Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm.
