1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 pounds new potatoes, scrubbed and halved
3 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 cups water, plus more as needed

LEMON POTATO SALAD WITH MINT



Lemon Potato Salad With Mint image

This light and refreshing potato salad is the antithesis of the usual, creamy, mayonnaise-based recipes. The mint and scallion add a bright, herbal flavor while the sprinkle of chile lends a kick. Make this the morning you plan to serve it and let it marinate at room temperature all day long. Or refrigerate for longer storage but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. Other herbs like cilantro, parsley, tarragon and sage can be substituted for the mint; adjust the quantity to taste.

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings plus 3 reserved for

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds red skinned small new potatoes
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, a handful of leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
7 (6-ounce) portions fresh Norwegian salmon fillets, individually packaged in fish department or market
2 cups dry white wine
2 to 3 cups water
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
Bouquet of fresh tarragon, dill and parsley sprigs, tied with kitchen string
1 bundle fresh watercress, washed and trimmed
1/2 English or seedless cucumber, thinly sliced
4 slices pumpernickel bread, quartered
2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons prepared Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped herbs, a few sprigs each tarragon, dill and parsley

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add a generous amount of coarse salt to the water, a few healthy pinches. Reduce heat to medium and boil covered until tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Place salmon fillets in a large deep skillet or divide between 2 skillets if you do not have a pan large enough to accommodate all 8 portions. The additional portions will provide the cooked salmon for salmon cakes on another night. Pour wine and water into the pan so that just the very top of the salmon is exposed. Add a bay leaf and a bouquet of a few sprigs each fresh tarragon, dill and parsley to the pan and set it down into the liquid. Place the pan or pans over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cover the pan. Poach salmon for 10 minutes or, until fish is firm and opaque.
  • Drain your potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Add butter to the pot and turn potatoes to coat them lightly in the butter. Sprinkle the mint and sugar over the potatoes.
  • Combine sour cream with Dijon mustard and chopped herbs in a small bowl.
  • Remove salmon from the cooking liquid with a thin spatula. Reserve 3 portions of the salmon and place in the refrigerator or freeze for salmon cakes meal.
  • To serve, place a piece of salmon on a plate and garnish with sauce. Serve pumpernickel squares, watercress and sliced cucumber along side the fish. Add minted red potatoes to the plate and serve.

NEW POTATOES WITH 5-MINUTE MINT PESTO



New Potatoes with 5-Minute Mint Pesto image

This 5-minute mint pesto comes together in no time and perks up new spring potatoes, pasta, turkey sandwiches and even scrambled eggs. I like my pesto chunky, so this recipe uses less oil than most -- and lots of herbs. Mint is a powerhouse of flavor, so it's balanced by quite a lot of fresh parsley and tangy, salty Parmesan.
