Categories     Potato     Side     Bake     Quick & Easy     Mint     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallot
a large pinch of freshly grated lemon zest
1 pound small new potatoes
4 pieces of parchment paper, each 14 by 8 inches

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl stir together the butter, the mint, the shallot, the zest, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is combined well. Add the potatoes, trimmed and sliced as thin as possible, and toss the mixture gently to coat the potatoes well. Put the parchment paper on a work surface, fold each piece in half by bringing the short ends together, and with scissors trim the unfolded edges of each piece to form a half-heart shape. Unfold the papers, divide the potatoes among them, arranging the potatoes just to one side of the fold line, and fold the other halves of the papers over the potatoes. Beginning with a folded corner, twist and fold the edges of each paper together, forming half-heart-shaped packets, and seal the ends tightly by twisting them. Bake the packets on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven for 17 minutes. Serve the potatoes in the packets and slit the packets open at the table.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds small new potatoes, each 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt
pepper
1 rosemary sprig
A few thyme sprigs
A few sage sprigs
1 head of garlic, cloves separated but not peeled
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash the potatoes in warm water to remove dirt or sand, then drain and blot. Put them in large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, a generous amount of salt and pepper, the rosemary, thyme, sage and garlic cloves, and mix to coat.
  • Arrange potatoes on an 18-inch round of baking parchment. Fold the parchment over to make a half moon, then fold and crimp the rounded edge to make a package, tucking in the end. It is O.K. if the package is not completely airtight. Place it on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Parchment will puff and brown as the potatoes roast within.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Open the package and sprinkle with parsley. Serve directly from the parchment, with a large spoon for the delicious oily juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use small, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These potatoes hold their shape well and won't fall apart during cooking.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt or debris. This will help the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes: Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly. This will also help them look more appealing when served.
  • Coat the potatoes in oil: Toss the potatoes with a little olive oil or melted butter before baking. This will help them brown and crisp up.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Use parchment paper: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan and make cleanup a breeze.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for the first 20 minutes. This will help them brown and crisp up.
  • Reduce the heat and continue baking: Reduce the heat to 375°F or 190°C and continue baking until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes more.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Parchment-baked minted potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The mint adds a refreshing touch that brightens up the dish. These potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
