- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for better texture and flavor.

- Use fresh lemon juice for the best citrus flavor.
- For a richer taste, you can substitute part of the vegetable broth with chicken broth.
- Feel free to mix and match the type of olives used; Kalamata or green olives work well.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on the potatoes before smashing them.
- Prepare the garlic ahead of time by mincing it finely to ensure even distribution of the flavor.
- Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh pop of color just before serving.
