I often alter and add to this recipe to boost nutritional value and flavour. Mushrooms/spinach/baby bok choy/kale/collard greens. Infuse with Rosemary or Thyme sprigs. Use smoked applewood salt and top with truffle oil. You can deepen the flavour by sautéing the vegetables before adding the potatoes and water.
