Cooking New Potatoes

Ingredients:

New potatoes
½ teaspoon salt

Method:

1.Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut the smaller potatoes in half and the larger ones into quarters (if the pieces are more or less the same size, they will take the same time to cook). Cut out any brown or discoloured parts.

2.Fill a large pan two thirds full with water, cover it with a lid and put it over a high heat to boil.

3.When the surface of the water is bubbling it has reached boiling point and it is time to add the potatoes. Tip them carefully into the pan, trying not to let the water splash up, then add the salt and the mint. Do not replace the lid.

4.Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy – this should take 10 – 12 minutes. When they are cooked drain them in a colander over the sink, place them in a bowl and serve.
