    • For the sardines
    • 8 fresh sardine fillets
    • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup olives, pitted and chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 2 tablespoons rice flour

    Method

    • Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
    • Place the potatoes in a baking dish and give them a good glug of olive oil, rub the oil all over them. Bake for 10 to 15 mins.
    • Once cooked, crushed the potatoes using a fork or a knife. Then add some olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
