My mum cooks the most delicious potato side dish when I go home and its so simple to make I thought I’d share it. The emphasis here is on the freshness of the herbs and the quality of the chillies so if you grow your own mint this would be an ideal dish to use it in.

Ingredients (6 People)

• 1 kg potatoes
• 2 chillies
• Olive oil
• Handful of fresh mint
• Sea salt and pepper

Method

First parboil the potatoes, drain them well and add them to a dry frying pan. Heat the pan a little to get rid of any excess water on the outside of the potatoes.   Now simply add olive oil, the chillies and a liberal amount of fresh mint (chopped roughly). Fry the potatoes until they have a brownish crush on the outside but are not too soft.   Season well and serve either hot or cold. Any leftovers we have usually go into a potato omelette with pecorino cheese, hopefully I’ll post this recipe up sometime too! Told you it was easy!
