Ingredients
- 500 g new potatoes
- 200 g frozen peas
- 30 g butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 10 g fresh mint leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. If the potatoes are large, cut them into halves or quarters to make them bite-sized.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, bring a smaller pot of water to a boil and add the frozen peas. Cook the peas for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant green, then drain and set aside.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. If desired, gently crush some of the potatoes with the back of a fork for a more rustic texture.
Step 5
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden and coated with the butter mixture.
Step 6
Add the cooked peas to the skillet and stir gently to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat the peas through.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and add the fresh mint leaves, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Toss everything together gently to ensure even seasoning.
Step 8
Transfer the dish to a serving bowl and enjoy warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian main.
