Garlic Mashed Potatoes

1 1/2 lb. red potatoes, cut into bite sized chunks
3 cloves garlic, halved
1 tbl. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt

In covered saucepan, in enough water to cover, simmer potatoes and garlic until tender.  Reserve 1/4 c. water.  Drain.  Return to pan.  Mash with oil, salt and water.


(Sometimes, I like to add a little cayenne pepper for a little spicy fun.)
