Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 10 pieces fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Scrub the new potatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt, but leave the skins intact for texture and flavor.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
While the potatoes are draining, finely mince the garlic and roughly chop the fresh mint leaves.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the garlic butter.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the black pepper over the potatoes. Mix gently to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 8
Drizzle the lemon juice over the potatoes for a bright and tangy finish.
Step 9
Remove from heat and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with a few extra mint leaves, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish to complement roasted meats or grilled vegetables.
