Peel and chop 1 kilo of Irish potatoes into roughly the same sized pieces.

Chop 1 onion and 4 cloves of garlic.

Heat olive oil, coconut oil, or butter in a saucepan until hot.

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the saucepan and cook until softened.

Add the chopped potatoes to the saucepan and stir through.

Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper, and any other seasonings to taste.

Pour in 1 cup of milk and enough vegetable stock or broth or water to just cover the potatoes.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft and mashable.

Remove the soup from heat and mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use an immersion blender for a smoother texture.

Serve the soup in bowls, optionally topping with herbs or serving with sourdough or Irish soda bread.
