  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.

  This is such an easy side dish and it tasted fab. I missed out the olives and used a little butter instead of oil as thats what i had in but it was really lovely so will make again for sure!!

  Great idea for sprucing up the boring potato! I tried it with the spring onions and it was delicious! I have had them again since and fried a little garlic and onion in some olive oil until softened and then added them to potatos with a little butter before crushing! Really great little side dishes!
