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."

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.

GLAZED PEAS AND POTATOES WITH MINT image

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups shelled fresh peas
3/4 pound new or red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

  • Put peas in a bowl.
  • Place potatoes in a pot and cover with lightly salted cold water. Bring to a boil. Cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes, pouring enough hot cooking liquid over peas to cover. Let peas stand 30 seconds, then drain and rinse under cold water.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add peas, potatoes, broth, and salt. Cook, stirring, until liquid reduces to a glaze, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in parsley and mint.
  • Note: Two pounds of fresh pea pods yield about 2 cups of shelled peas. You can substitute 1 (10-ounce) package of frozen peas.
