Preparation
- Step 1
Cover potatoes with water in a heavy saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes, reserving about one-half cup of the cooking liquid.
- Step 2
While the potatoes are simmering, saute the garlic in the olive oil over low heat until the garlic is tender and barely beginning to brown.
- Step 3
Mash or rice the potatoes. Add enough of the cooking liquid to make them smooth and creamy-textured. Stir in the olive oil and garlic.
- Step 4
Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the thyme.

Added half an onion in long strips based on a similar recipe my mother in law makes, and browned the chicken first. Did not disappoint. This will be a new regular in the rotation. Served with Mediterranean mashed potatoes. So easy and delicious even I couldn’t mess it up.
