Mint Potato
"I started off by searching 'zaar for a different mint potato recipe but to no avail, so thought I'd better post the simple and tasy way that I cook them. I eat with the skins on but they can of course be removed (it's probably easier to remove the skin after cooking and it stops them falling apart while boiling)."

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #79* Wasn't sure about this, but gave us an entire new flavor sensation ! DH won't eat lamb, but next time I give it a try, this will be my farinacious component ! Thanks for posting, Peter ! -
What a different take on the good ol' potato, I added carrots to mine, thought that might be a nice touch, also added a little chicken stock to make it less dry. But I enjoyed the mint. -
Everybody loved this! I'm not 100% sure I used the correct 'mint sauce' - I used recipe#17544 #17544 - but... it worked out! Made for 6/10 Aussie Swap. Thank you, Peter! -
Well, uh, umm, they are attractive. Sweet mint sauce with lamb...definitely! ...with iced tea, yes! Mint, garlic &olive oil w/white potatoes...yum. I'm afraid sweet mint sauce with white potatoes is a taste I am not sophisticated enough to appreciate. I'm glad I tried the recipe, though. They are... interesting. :-) -
I made this for *Zaar World Tour III* With two simple ingredients this recipe is worth trying. Delicious and easy to put together. I also garnished it with fresh mint from the garden. Thank you Peter J for posting your recipe.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live close Hobart in Tasmania, a wonderful part of Australia but a little chilly in winter so be sure to book your holiday for summer! I'm self-employed in the embedded electronics area and being at home most of the day gives me plenty of time to prepare those recipes with long preparation and cooking times. As most of my clients are either interstate or overseas I get to occasionally catch up with them and enjoy their local restaurants, always nice to have someone else paying the bills! <br /> <br />As well as food I'm partial to the odd beer & wine, so often like to go to a local pub and catch some local bands. No need for an alarm clock in the morning, my cat Molly likes her breakfast at 8:00AM sharp and makes an effective alarm! Lately I've been starting to get into some digital photography so you might be seeing a few additional recipe shots on Zaar... <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.satsleuth.com/VisitorMap/stats.php?id=vUa1ya8Z> <br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/VisitorMap/globes/Globe_vUa1ya8Z.gif alt= /></a></p>
