Glazed Peas and Potatoes with Mint
Here’s what you need to create this delicious dish:
The ingredients you’ll need are:
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (you can adjust based on your taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water as needed
Now, let’s get into the preparation:
- Begin by placing the diced potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow the potatoes to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain any excess water and set them aside.
- In the same saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the peas and stir for a minute to coat them in the fat.
- Incorporate the cooked potatoes into the pan with the peas. Gently toss them together and cook for another 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend beautifully.
- Next, add the chopped mint to the potato and pea mixture. Stir it in and season with salt and pepper to taste. The fresh mint will add a wonderful aroma and flavor.
- Let everything cook for a couple more minutes, then remove from heat and serve warm.
