New Potatoes With Ginger And Mint Recipes

NANNA'S MINTED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• First, give the potatoes a little scrub in cold water to remove any leftover dirt. Don't scrub too hard or you will remove all the skin.
• Cover the potatoes with cold water and add the salt and garlic. Put a lid on and bring to a boil. Once boiled, turn down to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until completely soft when poked with a knife.
• Drain the potatoes and discard the garlic. Add the butter, black pepper and a few leaves of fresh mint. Mix gently with a spoon.
• Serve in a big bowl or plate. Garnish with a nice sprinkling of crunchy Maldon sea salt and fresh sprigs of mint. Enjoy!

NEW POTATOES WITH MINT

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil. Scrub the potatoes. Add the salt and a sprig of mint to the water, and then add the potatoes. Cover the saucepan, bring back to the boil, and cook for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on size.
• Drain and serve immediately in a hot serving dish.

NEW POTATOES WITH 5-MINUTE MINT PESTO

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot and add cold water to cover; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook until barely fork-tender, 12 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, put the parsley, mint, pistachios, oil, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor and process until finely minced (see Cook's Note). Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the Parmesan until blended.
• Toss the pesto with the warm or room-temperature potatoes and serve.

MASHED NEW POTATOES WITH FRESH MINT

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and put them in a mixing bowl while they are still nice and hot. Add the chopped mint and mash so the potatoes are chunky and green in spots. Fold in the butter and stir everything together so the butter melts. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with a healthy amount of salt and pepper.

NEW POTATOES WITH GARLIC, MINT AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring the potatoes to the boil in enough lightly salted water to cover.
• Turn the heat to a very low simmer and cook until fork tender. This could take 30 minutes.
• Drain and add the butter, mint, garlic and salt and pepper to the pot. With the lid on, toss gently to cover the potatoes with the seasoned butter.
• Use parsley if you don't have or like mint, or use a mix of both if you wish.
