Baked potatoes with olives is an easy side dish I made one day with leftover boiled potatoes and a few French olives. The ingredients are simple, yet they come together to create a remarkable flavor. I threw it together while I was waiting for dinner to warm, and it was ready for the next day. When you have a few fresh ingredients and some creativity, and you think ahead, you will always have a great dinner ready.
