-
Drain and Mash:
- Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain them thoroughly.

- Pit and chop the black olives, then add them to the mixture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Adjust Consistency:
- If the mashed potatoes seem too thick, gradually stir in some of the reserved potato water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Keep in mind that the potatoes will thicken slightly as they cool, so you may want to add a bit more liquid than you think necessary.

Serve and Enjoy:

- Garnish with extra thyme leaves or chopped olives, if desired.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish or a satisfying lunch/snack option.
