BOILED POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND MINT



Boiled Potatoes With Butter and Mint image

The chef April Bloomfield cooks from a place of profound hunger for good food: specifically, Birmingham in the Midlands of England, where she grew up in the 1970s and 1980s just as English food reached a low point. The childhood food she remembers most fondly: the hot buttered potatoes served in her school cafeteria. Her homage to that dish is this basic but stunningly good recipe for freshly boiled potatoes thickly glazed in butter and brightened with lemon, garlic, cracked black pepper and what she calls a "five-fingered pinch" of fresh mint leaves, "as much as you can grab with just the tips of all five fingers."

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound small potatoes, like fingerlings or creamers, all about the same size
1 tablespoon flaky salt, like Maldon, or kosher salt
4 tablespoons/2 ounces cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1 small garlic clove, finely grated or shaved
A 5-finger pinch of whole mint leaves, preferably black mint (see note)
1/2 lemon
Coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, combine potatoes and salt. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a generous 1/2 inch and set the pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a vigorous simmer. Cook potatoes just until tender and creamy inside, 10 to 25 minutes depending on size.
  • Reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid, gently drain the potatoes and return them to the stove. Add butter, garlic and reserved cooking liquid to the pot and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, swirling the pan and basting as needed so that the liquid coats the potatoes until they are well glazed, about 5 minutes.
  • Tear the mint leaves into small pieces, stir them very gently into the potatoes, and take the pot off the heat. Squeeze on just enough lemon to add brightness, not sourness; taste as you go. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose baby potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any potatoes with cuts, bruises, or signs of sprouting.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly before cooking to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Do not peel the potatoes. Leaving the skin on will help them retain their nutrients and flavor.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 12-15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the ginger-mint sauce. In a small bowl, combine the ginger, mint, green onions, garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the ginger-mint sauce over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Garnish with additional mint leaves and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This recipe for New Potatoes with Ginger and Mint is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The potatoes are cooked until tender and then tossed in a flavorful ginger-mint sauce. The combination of ginger, mint, and green onions creates a bright and aromatic sauce that perfectly complements the potatoes.
