BOILED BUTTERED POTATOES
These simple potatoes were always a staple in our house. Mama made them frequently. She would serve them as a side dish with pinto beans, green beans, peas or corn. They are delicious with a little pepper sauce sprinkled over them or topped with shredded cheddar cheese.

Steps:
- 1. Wash and peel potatoes. Cut into chunks (about 1-inch) and rinse. Place in large sauce pan and cover with water. Add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender-approximately 20-25 minutes.
- 2. When done, drain potatoes, leaving about 1/2 cup liquid (water) in them. Add 1 stick of butter or margarine; heat until melted. Occasionally, stir gently, being careful not to mash potatoes into mush. Remove from heat.
- 3. Gently, stir in 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste. Sprinkle black pepper over top, if desired.
Tips:
- For the best results, use waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These potatoes hold their shape well when boiled and won't become mushy.
- To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pot, add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and let them steam dry for a few minutes before adding the butter and mint. This will help the potatoes absorb the flavors better.
- For a more flavorful dish, use unsalted butter and fresh mint. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the potatoes immediately while they are still hot. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course with a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Boiled potatoes with butter and mint is a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and is also a healthy and affordable meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
