Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Rub potatoes all over with vegetable oil; place on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until potatoes are very tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from oven, leaving potatoes on baking sheet. Using potato masher or fork, coarsely crush potatoes on baking sheet. Transfer hot potatoes to platter; dot with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; drizzle potatoes with truffle oil, if desired, and serve.
