    I'm sure mine didn't turn out the way intended, as I cut the potatoes into smaller pieces (since I don't like large bites of potato). Then, on top of doing that, I left them in the water after boiling, until I was ready for them, (I knew all along what the result might be, based on the things I was doing lol). I considered posting my result on here as a new recipe, but realized that really, it's still the same recipe, with a slight variation, so others can choose which way they're in the mood for, each time they make it. What happened was that as I was mixing everything together, yes, go figure, the potatoes started falling apart. So, I ended up with something between mashed potatoes & potato salad, only far more garlicky, but very good. Oh, & I did add a tad of dried dill, sweet basil & white pepper. My son had wanted hamburgers, but I didn't want to serve the typical chips, or fries or macaroni & cheese with them, so when I found this recipe I thought it would be a nice fit, a little less plain. I also served it with my Caribbean Coleslaw recipe (#290325) which was nice & light which helped balance out the garlic flavor. For desert I served my Rocky Road Chocolate Mousse (#286486) which was nice, because it was cool & light, & we could each choose how much we wanted, I only had a little because by that time I was very full (duh). Anyway, thanks for a great recipe that was simple and apparently infallible lol!

    Great potato recipe--instead of boiling and chopping up the potatoes, I baked them and cut them horizontally into circles. Then I placed them on a greased cookie sheet, brushed them with olive oil and a little bit of salt and broiled them until the skins were crispy. I served them with the sauce as listed in the recipe, which I made early and let sit for a while so the flavors could meld. I made these with fried chicken, green beans and biscuits... thank you!!

    Excellent recipe! I added sherry to thin the mayo. The taste was just like our favorite local tapas place. I will definitely make this again and again!
