Parchment Baked Minted Potatoes

Type: Vegetables
Courses: Side dish
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

3 tablespoons 45mlUnsalted butter - melted
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlFinely-shredded fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlMinced shallot
1   Freshly-grated lemon zest - (large pinch)
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 lb 454g / 16ozSmall new potatoes
4   Parchment paper, each 14" by 8"

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl stir together the butter, mint, shallot, zest, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is combined well. Add the potatoes, trimmed and sliced as thin as possible, and toss the mixture gently to coat the potatoes well.

Put the parchment paper on a work surface, fold each piece in half by bringing the short ends together, and with scissors trim the unfolded edges of each piece to form a half heart shape. Unfold the paper, divide the potatoes among them, arranging the potatoes just to one side of the fold line, and fold the other halves of the papers over the potatoes. Beginning with a folded corner, twist and fold the edges of each paper together, forming half heart shaped packets, and seal the end tightly by twisting them. Bake the packets on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven for 17 minutes. Serve the potatoes in the packets and slit the packet open at the table.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
