Steps:

• 1. Wash and peel potatoes. Cut into chunks (about 1-inch) and rinse. Place in large sauce pan and cover with water. Add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender-approximately 20-25 minutes.
• 2. When done, drain potatoes, leaving about 1/2 cup liquid (water) in them. Add 1 stick of butter or margarine; heat until melted. Occasionally, stir gently, being careful not to mash potatoes into mush. Remove from heat.
• 3. Gently, stir in 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste. Sprinkle black pepper over top, if desired.

Steps:

• Bring the potatoes to the boil in enough lightly salted water to cover.
• Turn the heat to a very low simmer and cook until fork tender. This could take 30 minutes.
• Drain and add the butter, mint, garlic and salt and pepper to the pot. With the lid on, toss gently to cover the potatoes with the seasoned butter.
• Use parsley if you don't have or like mint, or use a mix of both if you wish.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a Dutch oven or stockpot and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook for 15-30 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Serve eight potatoes with butter and parsley if desired. Refrigerate remaining potatoes.
