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."

Provided by Julia Moskin

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.

COLD POTATO SALAD WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND FETA



Cold Potato Salad With Tomatoes, Olives and Feta image

This potato salad is equally delicious served in the cooler months as well as the summer. I add capers to this salad also, but that is optional. You can peel the potatoes if desired, I like to leave them on. Plan ahead the salad needs to chill for a minimum of 5 hours before serving. You can adjust the olive oil, white wine vinegar, and oregano to taste. Prep time does not include chilling times, cooking time is for boiling potatoes.

BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH OLIVES, FETA, AND CHILE



Baked Sweet Potato with Olives, Feta, and Chile image

Baking intensifies the sweetness of sweet potatoes and gives the bright orange flesh a kind of fluffiness-light and soft at the same time. Sweet potato is terrific combined with salty olives, creamy feta, and hot Chile pepper. Once they're baked, you can easily keep them in the fridge for days, or you can use them to make a quick, flavorful soup.

Yield 1 serving, with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 very large or 4-5 small sweet potatoes
Olive oil, for greasing and drizzling
Coarse sea salt
50 g creamy feta (about 1/3 cup crumbles)
A small handful of salty black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1 red chile pepper (with or without seeds), sliced into rings
A small handful of fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub, rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Pour a little olive oil on to your palms and rub this over the unpeeled sweet potatoes.
  • Next, rub in some coarse salt. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times on all sides using a small sharp knife, then wrap them in tin foil and bake for an hour (or a little longer, if necessary) until done. Use half of them immediately and leave the rest to cool.
  • Place the sweet potato(es) on a plate and open the foil. Cut in half lengthways, then press on the outside of the halves so that the fluffy flesh bulges out slightly. Crumble the feta over the sweet potato(es), top with the olives, chile pepper and cilantro, and drizzle generously with olive oil.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon Gold or other thin-skinned yellow potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red onions (quartered and sliced thinly)
4 medium garlic cloves (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano + another 1/2 teaspoon for topping
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 fresh red chili (an jalapeno would also work)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
30 pitted kalamata olives
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil for drizzling
Plain yogurt and lemon wedges for topping/serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Fill a large pot about halfway with water, and add the potatoes. Set on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes and rinse with cool water. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut into thick slices.
  • Add the olive oil to a heavy pan set over medium heat. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, chili, and oregano and cook, stirring, for another minute. Stir in the sugar, vinegar, and tomatoes. Add a couple pinches of salt and a bit of freshly ground black pepper. Taste and add additional salt if you'd like.
  • Add the potatoes to the baking dish and top with olives. Toss lightly. Pour the tomato mixture over the top. Crumble the feta over the tomatoes, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
  • Bake for 25 - 30 miinutes until heated through.
  • Serve hot, topping individual servings with dollops of yogurt and lemon juice as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Red potatoes are a good choice for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a slightly waxy texture that prevents them from becoming mushy.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: You want the potatoes to be cooked through but not so soft that they fall apart.
  • Use a variety of olives: Kalamata, Niçoise, and Castelvetrano olives are all good choices for this recipe. You can also use a mix of different types of olives.
  • Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to the dish: Use crumbled feta cheese for the best results.
  • Fresh mint adds a refreshing flavor to the dish: Chop the mint finely before adding it to the salad.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature: This salad can be served immediately after it is made, or you can let it cool to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

This Red Potatoes with Olives, Feta, and Mint is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
