Rub the potato with butter and then salt and garlic granules or first
rub the whole potato with crushed garlic, then with butter, then gently
again with more crushed garlic then salt & a little freshly ground pepper.

"The two main political parties ruled alternately as if by tacit
agreement. Politically they were practically indistinguishable (one
perhaps a shade more liberal) but in both camps supporters were more
swayed by personalities than by issues. Both parties were heavily
dependent on the large industrial conglomerates. Corruption was
widespread, the conglomerates dictated economic policy, and with few
outstanding exceptions, politicians' reputations were low."
