2 cups cooked white beans, drained (equivalent to one 16-ounce can)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and enough water to cover the vegetables by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and vegetables, then return them to the pot. Add the drained white beans and mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, adjusting to taste.
Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
