Greek Garlic Potatoes

Not your ordinary mashed potato. This rustic Greek side dish has a lot of

texture and combines potatoes with Mediterranean herbs, garlic, and balsamic

vinegar. Best of all, you get great-tasting " mashed " potatoes without butter

or cream. Serve with roasted or grilled meats, poultry, or fish. Preparation

hint: Waxy potatoes will produce a creamier dish, while baking potatoes will

create a fluffier dish.
