Olive oil mash is the perfect partner for many foods from a piece of barbeque'd Tuna to a humble roast leg of lamb studded with anchovies. This delicious combo was culinary cool in the 90's thanks to legendary Michelin starred Swiss chef Freddy Girardet, who sparked a trend amongst top chefs to create their own flavoured mashed potatoes.
