Method

  1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 15 mins until completely cooked through. Peeling the potatoes isn't essential, but I think it gives a smoother finish to the dish.
  2. Drain, tip into a bowl, and crush with the olive oil until broken but not mashed. Stir through the spring onions and the olives, then season to taste and serve.

    I did this today without olives and with butter instead of olive oil, to go with a pie. It's a simple, excellent change to boring old new potatoes... you can't go wrong, really (unless you mash them a little too much).

    Superb! For once I didn't need to add anything. Went really well with the Greek pie recipe on this site.
