New Potatoes With Spring Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and brown all over until just cooked, then remove to a plate and set aside.
• Add the potatoes to the pan and pour in the stock so it just covers the potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove the lid and add the butter, baby gem and peas. Fry in the buttery juices for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the vinegar and mustard. Return the lamb to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more to warm through. Serve sprinkled with the parsley.

Steps:

• For the potatoes and peas: Add 6 cups water, 3 tablespoons of salt, and potatoes to a heavy-bottomed pot. Turn heat to high, partially cover, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, blanch peas: Bring 6 cups of water with 3 tablespoons of salt to a boil. Prepare an ice bath with 1 tablespoon of salt. Add peas to the boiling water and cook until the water comes up to a boil again, 2-3 minutes. Taste to verify that the peas are fully cooked; then strain, place peas into the salted ice bath to halt cooking, and set aside. Check potatoes periodically by piercing the largest one with a fork. They are done when the fork goes all the way through with no resistance. Turn off the heat and let the potatoes sit in their water, 4-5 minutes longer. While potatoes are cooking, prep the rest of the ingredients (Step 2).
• Vinaigrette: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer to dissolve and incorporate all of the ingredients. Remove from heat and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare the fennel by removing the fronds (reserving them for later use) and use a mandoline to slice into thin strips. Add the sliced fennel to a bowl, along with the green onions and warm vinaigrette. Toss to coat and set aside.
• Assembly: Drain the peas and fully cooked potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half and add directly to the fennel while they are still warm; toss so the vinaigrette is absorbed into the potatoes. Roughly chop the fennel fronds (about ¼ cup), and cut the mint and basil into a rough chiffonade (about ¼ cup total); add to the salad. At the last minute, to avoid discoloration, add the peas. Toss again and serve.

Steps:

• Put 2 pounds chopped red-skinned potatoes in a pot, cover with water by 2 inches and add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl using a slotted spoon; sprinkle with salt and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar. Boil 10 ounces frozen peas in the same pot until just tender. Drain, rinse and add to the potatoes. Whisk 3/4 cup each mayonnaise and sour cream, and 1/2 cup each chopped chives and dill. Toss with the potatoes and peas; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Blend parsley, chives, rosemary, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon peel, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in processor to coarse puree. (Pesto can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes, cut side down, on rimmed baking sheet. Roast until potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 40 minutes. Using spatula, transfer potatoes to large bowl. Add pesto and toss to coat. Serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
• In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Simmer peas in boiling water for 6 to 7 minutes, or until tender (do NOT overcook). Drain.
• Using the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a thick paste; gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now add potatoes and peas to the sauce; simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 2 inches.
• Add large pinches of salt and sugar.
• Bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat.
• Decrease heat to medium and cook at a bubbling simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are just tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Test with a fork; the fork should meet with some resistance, but pierce the potatoes easily; do not let the potatoes overcook, or they will become watery and fall apart.
• Drain the potatoes; can peel or leave unpeeled.
• Meanwhile, bring a saucepan 3/4 full of water to a rapid boil.
• Add pinches of salt and sugar and the peas, and blanch until they turn bright green, about 30 seconds.
• Drain and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking and set the color.
• In a heavy frying pan, melt the butter with the olive oil over med-low heat.
• Add the green onions and let them wilt, about 3 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and peas and toss together until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in enough water to cover.
• Simmer until tender.
• Add fresh peas and cook covered for 10 more minutes.
• Drain.
• Add cream, S&P and cover.
• Pour potatoes and peas into a hot serving dish.
• Dot w/ butter and serve.
