Mouth-Fire Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are the ideal side dish - plenty filling, delicious, and they go with pretty much anything. We make mashed potatoes a number of different ways, but this variation skips the traditional dairy and opts for olive oil and other seasonings. and plenty of fiery habaneros, of course, for your pleasure.
