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!

BUTTERED POTATOES
Baking meatloaf was sending an aroma of goodness through the oven door, that followed like a wave to the family room. "Oh boy", my Dad, (who is 89) said, "Now, that smells good!" My Dad is not a man the gives compliments easily, nor is he the gushy type. But he is a hard working man, even at the age of 89 that appreciates (abate quietly) the finer things of life. The comfort of meatloaf begs to have a comforting, but a simply prepared side dish that will fill the stomach and bring happiness ever so quietly, to your soul. Late in the Fall we had dug potatoes, (even though it was still quite warm out for our State) and I had put them in the dark, cool basement to carry us through the winter and early Spring months. I went down to the basement and grabbed a few little potatoes and quickly went about making this very simple, but very heart warming potato dish, of course to feed my Dad as well as my family. Sometimes, there is nothing more satisfying then the normal, simple potato. I have used this recipe for probably 40 years, and to this day, it is as good tasting and filling as it was years ago.

LEMON & GARLIC BUTTERED POTATOES
Found this recipe in a Sunday paper. A great recipe to use as side dish and the lemon just gives it all a really nice flavour. I used small potatoes instead of chat, so any small potato could be used. I am going to try the butter mixture over steamed broccoli next time.

Steps:
- 1. Peel, quarter and place potatoes in salted water, enough to cover potatoes. Boil till fork tender, drain.
- 2. In a large skillet, add the bacon grease or oil. Heat the grease till a drop of water sizzles. Add the potatoes wedges, in a single layer if possible, to brown evenly. Season. Turning occasionally. Continue frying till most of the potatoes are getting a nice golden color.
- 3. In a sauce pan, add the butter and onion, simmer till onion is tender ,but not browned. Add the butter and onions to the potatoes.
- 4. Continue frying until onions begin to brown. Now is when I add the Cajun spice. Stir to blend seasoning in.
- 5. Add the parsley, stir evenly and serve.
Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes are ideal for buttery mashed potatoes, as they have a smooth and creamy texture.
- Boil potatoes correctly: Cover the potatoes completely with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly: Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake to remove excess water. This will help the potatoes absorb the butter and milk more easily.
- Use high-quality butter: Use unsalted butter for better control over the saltiness of the dish. Soften the butter to room temperature before using, as this will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Season to taste: Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs.
- Mash until smooth: Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Avoid over-mashing, as this can make the potatoes gluey.
- Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served immediately after making. You can keep them warm in a slow cooker or covered dish until ready to serve.
Conclusion:
Buttery mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mashed potatoes that are creamy, fluffy, and full of flavor. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to create your own unique mashed potato recipe.
