Instructions

Cook the Potatoes

In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover with water. Add the salt and bring to a boil.

Pro tip: Make sure the potatoes are all similar in size for even cooking.

Check for Doneness

Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain them.

Pro tip: To check for doneness, pierce a potato with a knife; it should slide in easily.

Mash the Potatoes

In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork.

Pro tip: Do not over-mash to keep a rustic texture.

Add the Ingredients

Stir in the butter, sour cream, smoked garlic, paprika, pepper, and olive oil into the mashed potatoes.

Pro tip: Taste and adjust the seasonings according to your preferences.

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium heat. You can use a grill pan to prevent the potatoes from falling through.

Pro tip: Ensure the grill is clean to prevent the potatoes from sticking.

Grill the Potatoes

Place the mashed potatoes on the grill pan and grill for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Pro tip: This will give a smoky flavor and a nice golden crust.

Garnish and Serve

Remove from the grill, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve hot.

Pro tip: Pair them with your favorite grilled meat for a complete meal.
