NEW POTATOES WITH MINT

MINTED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 15 mins or until, tender, then drain and cool. Stir together the garlic, yogurt, vinegar and sugar with some seasoning, to make the dressing. Can be made to this stage up to a day ahead.
• To serve, mix most of the spring onions and mint into the dressing, then pour it over the potatoes. Stir gently, taking care not to break the potatoes up. Scatter with the rest of the spring onions and mint to serve.

HERBY NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Heat a large heavy-based ovenproof, flameproof pan and add the oil. Drop the potatoes in the oil and cook for 5 mins, so they are coloured. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon, draining the excess oil. Wipe the oil from the pan with kitchen paper, then return the potatoes to the pan. Put in the oven, and cook for a further 15 mins. Sprinkle over the mint and serve.

ULTIMATE ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
• Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
• Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
• Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
• Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
• Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
• Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
• Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
• Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

TUSCAN POTATOES (MINT AND GARLIC ROASTED POTATOES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Scrub potatoes and halve or quarter any that are larger than bite-sized.
• Combine all ingredients in a large heavy duty zip lock plastic bag and shake well to coat potatoes.
• Place in a shallow roasting pan (lined with foil for easy clean up), and roast for 1 hour.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

BOILED POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND MINT

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.

LEMON POTATO SALAD WITH MINT

Steps:

• Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
• In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt and olive oil.
• Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with dressing, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, top with additional lemon juice, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper.
