    I served this with Chicken Cacciatore and it was a perfect accompaniment. I do think you need a flavorsome dish to go with them though.

    I too, like many put these tatties in the oven. I added chopped garlic and thyme before doing so and sprayed with a little fry-lite to try and kee calorie content down. I found that the oven dried them out a little so grilled them for approx 15 mins so they were crispy and they came out really well. I wouldn't suggest putting them in the oven, just boil potatoes until they are soft and then crush and grill ... worked for me! Served with mustard chicken and they really complemented one another. Give it a go it won't disappoint!

    Wasn't overly impressed with these. Perhaps I will try using more olive oil and bacon next time. Seemed a little dry and boring for my tastes.

    I used normal potatoes instead and cut them up into new potato size. I also half peeled them and only slightly crushed them for presentation reasons (they looked more appealing less crushed I figured). I also roasted them for 20 minutes as per suggestions. A nice side to a saucy chicken dish as the potatoes act as a good sponge to a tasty sauce

    I did as suggested by others and crisped them up in the oven for 15 minutes - wow! My husband loved them. Served along side stuffed chicken breasts with mozzarella wrapped in parma ham. Potatoes work well with some kind of sauce to accompany them, like the red pepper sauce suggested with the chicken.

    Just had these for tea with chicken drumsticks and salad. Hubby loved them. Added actual olives to the oil and let the cooked crushed potatoes sit in the mixture for an hour before adding salt and crisping in the oven to finish. Delicious!

    The potatoes completely drank the oil so ended up using more than a good glug. Not great for the waistline.

    Great!! I added some butter though to make it less dry and some rosemary, which turned out delicious!

    These were a lovely change to mash - needed lots of olive oil, and also lots of salt, but went down very well indeed.

    Very simple to do - i did follow oithers comments and finish them in the oven - added some mint and it was lovely! My dinner party friends thought so also.

    I found a variation of this a few years ago in a Rick Stein book. In his version you mix a roughly chopped bunch of watercress to the crushed potatoes. Use plenty of olive oil and seasoning and serve immediately. Goes well with fish, of course. I've used this whenever I can get my hands on some watercress and it always goes down well.

    I followed the suggestions and roasted the potatoes after having mixed them in some olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and crushed garlic. The result was delicious and the potatoes were really crunchy.

    I made these yesterday as a side for Mother's Day meal. The whole family raved about them so I think they may become a frequently repeated side dish!
