I absolutely love the taste of new potatoes.  The fresher and more locally grown, the better.  This makes a great side-dish for a BBQ or picnic (it’s delicious eaten cold too) and is really quick and simple to make and much lighter than the more traditional creamy potato salads.

(Serves 4)

• Bag of new potatoes (organic)
• Large handful of fresh mint
• Generous drizzle of olive oil

1. Boil the potatoes for around 10 minutes, until cooked
2. Cool them under the cold water tap for a few moments (I tend to serve this dish warm, not hot to ensure that the mint stays crisp and doesn’t wilt)
3. Serve with the olive oil, mint and salt and pepper

• Sea salt and pepper to season
