• Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender (20 minutes), drain and return to pot
• Meanwhile remove stalks from the mint and place the leaves into a mortar and pestle add a pinch of sugar and mash until you get a coarse paste, or alternately chop by hand until you get the same results
•  Add the red wine vinegar, pinch of salt and oil
• Taste, you will more than likely have to get the balance of sweet/minty and vinegar right, adjust as necessary
• Pour the mint sauce over your potatoes and toss gently
