BUTTERED AND HERBED NEW POTATOES

This is a wonderful recipe that I got years ago from Graham Kerr, aka The Galloping Gourmet. I love that he always warmed a dish at the beginning to put the end product in. This is the recipe I first bought my heat deflector for. I also love his methods for cooking things -- such as to cover this with a cloth. The addition of mint makes this special. I hope you enjoy it -- we do!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs tiny new potatoes
1 bunch parsley
1 bunch mint
1 pinch crystallized salt
1/4 cup butter

Steps:

  • Place a pot of water on to boil.
  • Heat a vegetable dish.
  • Pop the potatoes into the boiling water with a pinch of crystallized salt (the parsley stalk and mint stalk can be added).
  • Cover with a tightly fitting lid.
  • Boil for 20 minutes on high heat.
  • Drain and submerge in cold running water.
  • Put them between your hands and the skin will come away easily.
  • Melt butter in the bottom of a pan.
  • Place potatoes in the pan, roll to coat with butter, and cover with a clean cloth.
  • Place over the lowest heat, using a heat pad to deflect direct contact, until potatoes are ready to serve.
  • Wash the mint and parsley and chop (Can be done earlier unless you wish to boil the stalks with the potatoes).
  • Remove the cloth and dust with the chopped mint and parsley.
  • Place in the vegetable dish and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose small, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly: Remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes before cooking.
  • Parboil the potatoes: This helps to partially cook the potatoes so that they are evenly cooked when sautéed.
  • Use a large skillet: This will allow the potatoes to cook in a single layer, ensuring that they brown evenly.
  • Use a combination of butter and olive oil: This will help to prevent the butter from burning and will give the potatoes a delicious flavor.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for roasted potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Buttered new potatoes are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the skillet.
