Mint Potato

Peter J's Note:

I started off by searching 'zaar for a different mint potato recipe but to no avail, so thought I'd better post the simple and tasy way that I cook them. I eat with the skins on but they can of course be removed (it's probably easier to remove the skin after cooking and it stops them falling apart while boiling).

• Total Time: 19 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 17 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 medium potatoes, cut in half
• 1/4 cup mint sauce

Directions:

1. Place potatoes and mint sauce in a small saucepan with just enough water to cover them.
2. Cover saucepan and bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for around 15 minutes. Potatoes are cooked when they can easily be pierced with a fork.
3. Strain potatoes, reserving mint pieces and return potato and mint to saucepan for a few minutes over low heat to dry them out.

What a different take on the good ol' potato, I added carrots to mine, thought that might be a nice touch, also added a little chicken stock to make it less dry. But I enjoyed the mint.

Everybody loved this! I'm not 100% sure I used the correct 'mint sauce' - I used Mint Sauce #17544 - but... it worked out! Made for 6/10 Aussie Swap. Thank you, Peter!

Well, uh, umm, they are attractive. Sweet mint sauce with lamb...definitely! ...with iced tea, yes! Mint, garlic &olive oil w/white potatoes...yum. I'm afraid sweet mint sauce with white potatoes is a taste I am not sophisticated enough to appreciate. I'm glad I tried the recipe, though. They are... interesting. :-)
