New Potatoes with Mint


Here is a delightful way to serve new potatoes for those with a sweet/savory fetish. They are perfect with poached or baked fish.

2 pounds red skinned small new potatoes
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, a handful of leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar (finely ground, such a baker's sugar is best)

Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add a generous amount of coarse salt to the water, a few healthy pinches. Reduce heat to medium and boil covered until tender, about 12 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Add butter to the pot and turn potatoes to coat them lightly in the butter. Sprinkle the mint and sugar over the potatoes.
