Method

• Scrape clean or scrub potatoes
• Cover the potatoes with cold water and add a little salt
• Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer
• Simmer for 5-8 minutes depending on size and then turn off the heat and let the potatoes sit in the hot water until tender (about 10 minutes)
• Whilst the potatoes are cooking add the mint leaves along with the sugar and a pinch of salt to a mortar and pestle, mash the mint until it becomes a thick green, fragrant paste, add the vinegar and enough oil to loosen to the mint to form a thick pasty
• Taste and adjust seasoning and balance of sweet/sour flavours
• Drain the potatoes and drizzle over the fresh mint sauce and serve immediately
