NEW POTATOES WITH GARLIC, MINT AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring the potatoes to the boil in enough lightly salted water to cover.
• Turn the heat to a very low simmer and cook until fork tender. This could take 30 minutes.
• Drain and add the butter, mint, garlic and salt and pepper to the pot. With the lid on, toss gently to cover the potatoes with the seasoned butter.
• Use parsley if you don't have or like mint, or use a mix of both if you wish.

NEW POTATOES WITH 5-MINUTE MINT PESTO

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot and add cold water to cover; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook until barely fork-tender, 12 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, put the parsley, mint, pistachios, oil, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor and process until finely minced (see Cook's Note). Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the Parmesan until blended.
• Toss the pesto with the warm or room-temperature potatoes and serve.

NANNA'S MINTED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• First, give the potatoes a little scrub in cold water to remove any leftover dirt. Don't scrub too hard or you will remove all the skin.
• Cover the potatoes with cold water and add the salt and garlic. Put a lid on and bring to a boil. Once boiled, turn down to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until completely soft when poked with a knife.
• Drain the potatoes and discard the garlic. Add the butter, black pepper and a few leaves of fresh mint. Mix gently with a spoon.
• Serve in a big bowl or plate. Garnish with a nice sprinkling of crunchy Maldon sea salt and fresh sprigs of mint. Enjoy!
