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."

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:

  • For the best results, use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well when boiled.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm. You can check this by piercing them with a fork - they should be easy to pierce but not fall apart.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them immediately and return them to the pot. This will help them to absorb the butter and mint flavor.
  • Be generous with the butter and mint. This is what gives the potatoes their delicious flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. However, fresh mint is definitely the best choice.
  • Serve the potatoes hot as a side dish or as a main course with a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Boiled potatoes with butter and mint is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try.
