Ingredients

  • 1 pound small yellow potatoes such as fingerlings
  • Salt for seasoning water
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt or sea salt or to taste
  • 4 mint leaves thinly sliced
  • 4 basil leaves thinly sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring to a boil. Season the water well with salt. Cook until the potatoes are tender, but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes. (See note below.)
  2. Drain well in a colander. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and toss with the olive oil, kosher or sea salt, mint and basil.
  3. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • The cook time may vary with the size of the potatoes. Test for doneness by piercing with the tines of a fork. The fork should insert easily into the potato, without the potato falling apart.
