Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mint-Glazed Peas and Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by placing your shelled peas in a bowl and setting them aside for now.
Step 2
Next, grab a pot and fill it with lightly salted cold water, then toss in your cubed potatoes.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook for just 1 to 2 minutes until they’re crisp-tender.
Step 4
Once they’re ready, drain the potatoes but be sure to save some of that hot cooking liquid.
Step 5
Pour enough of the reserved liquid over the peas to cover them, allowing them to sit for about 30 seconds.
Step 6
After that, drain the peas and give them a quick rinse under cold water to keep their vibrant color.
Step 7
Now, heat a large skillet over high heat and melt some butter until it’s bubbling.
Step 8
Add in the peas, potatoes, broth, and a pinch of salt.
Step 9
Stir everything together and let it cook until the liquid reduces to a lovely glaze, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 10
Once it’s beautifully glossy, take the skillet off the heat and fold in the freshly chopped parsley and sliced mint for a burst of flavor.
Step 11
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings together the freshness of peas and the heartiness of potatoes, perfect for any meal!.
