Ingredients:
- 500 g potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 750 ml vegetable stock
- 150 ml cooking cream
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the aioli:
- 1 egg
- 1 clove of garlic
- 150 ml sunflower oil
- 1 dash of lemon juice
- Salt
Elaboration:
- Peel the potatoes and onion, and cut them into medium-sized pieces.
- In a large pan, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic clove until soft and translucent.
- Add the chopped potatoes and sauté for a few minutes. Then pour in the vegetable stock and simmer over a medium heat until the potatoes are cooked through, approximately 20-25 minutes.
- Blend the mixture with a blender until smooth and homogeneous. Add the cooking cream, mix well and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
- For the aioli, place the egg, peeled garlic, a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice in a blender jug. Start beating and gradually add the sunflower oil until the mixture emulsifies and you have a consistent aioli.
- Serve the cream hot in bowls and add a spoonful of aioli in the centre. Garnish with some fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
