2 Pounds potatoes
5 Tablespoons salted butter
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 Cloves garlic , crushed
2 Tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped

Salt and black pepper to tasty

PREPARATION

Preheat the oven to medium-high temperature (about 200°C | 400°F).
Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring them to a boil and cook covered for 30-35 minutes or until fork tender. Drain well.
Lightly grease a baking sheet with oil. Place the potatoes in the pan and gently mash them with a potato masher (not too hard so they don't get mashed).

You can add parmesan cheese or the one of your choice and bake again for about 5 minutes or until it melts and your potatoes will have an additional delicious touch.
You can also serve it with a sauce such as guacamole, or sour cream, among others.
If you are a spicy lover you can use chili flakes before baking and your potatoes will have that bold and spicy touch.
