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.

LEMON POTATO SALAD WITH MINT
This light and refreshing potato salad is the antithesis of the usual, creamy, mayonnaise-based recipes. The mint and scallion add a bright, herbal flavor while the sprinkle of chile lends a kick. Make this the morning you plan to serve it and let it marinate at room temperature all day long. Or refrigerate for longer storage but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. Other herbs like cilantro, parsley, tarragon and sage can be substituted for the mint; adjust the quantity to taste.

BOILED POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND MINT
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."

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.

NEW POTATOES
There were no refrigerators or freezers when I grew up, so we were eager to taste those first fresh vegetables from the garden-especially when served with our favorite Sunday dinner. Among the pork chops, fresh asparagus and rhubarb pie, these new potatoes, showered with freshly picked parsley, were a standout. -Marilyn Kutzli, Preston, Iowa

ROAST RACKS OF LAMB WITH NEW POTATOES AND MINT PESTO
Steps:
- For lamb:
- Whisk 1/2 cup oil, garlic, and mustard in small bowl to blend. Transfer 1/3 cup mustard mixture to large bowl; add potatoes and toss to coat. Brush remaining mustard mixture over lamb. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet.
- For pesto:
- Puree all ingredients except mint sprigs in processor.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lamb rack, rounded side down, and cook until brown, about 3 minutes. Return to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining lamb rack. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Arrange racks facing each other, bone ends up and brown side out, about 2 inches apart on same baking sheet; tip toward each other, intertwining bones loosely. Scatter potatoes around lamb.
- Roast lamb and potatoes until thermometer inserted into center of lamb registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 20 minutes. Transfer lamb to platter and tent with foil. Continue roasting potatoes until cooked through and crisp, stirring once, about 15 minutes longer. Surround lamb with potatoes, garnish with mint sprigs, and serve with pesto.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Select fresh, small new potatoes, approximately 1 to 2 inches in diameter. They cook evenly and have a tender texture.
- Wash and Scrub: Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. You can use a soft brush or your hands to gently clean them.
- Leave the Skin On: New potatoes have thin, delicate skin that is edible and packed with nutrients. Leaving the skin on saves time and adds flavor and texture to the dish.
- Boil or Steam: There are two main methods for cooking new potatoes: boiling and steaming. Boiling is a traditional method that yields tender potatoes, while steaming preserves more nutrients and results in a slightly firmer texture.
- Season Wisely: Enhance the flavor of your potatoes with a simple combination of salt, pepper, and fresh herbs like mint or parsley. You can also add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
Conclusion:
New potatoes with mint are a delightful and versatile side dish that complements a variety of main courses. They are easy to prepare, healthy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you prefer a classic boiled preparation or a more modern roasted version, these recipes offer something for every palate. Experiment with different herbs and seasonings to create a dish that suits your taste preferences. Enjoy these delicious new potatoes as a vibrant addition to your next meal!
