The potatoes were easy to make but they didn't have much flavor and tasted like something was missing.

Very easy and tastes good! I dress it up (I believe I stole the idea from Rachel Ray by mixing in roasted parsnips and/or carrots. The contrast in textures and between salty and sweet really makes it something different than a variation on mashed potatoes. Goes well with pork, beef, or chicken as a protein, as long as that protein has it's own juice/sauce... (Can be a tad dry on its own..

Using olive oil in the potatoes in my opinion is much lighter and lends better flavor. Butter is so rich and heavy. You can feel less guilty when eating these potatoes .
