Love new potatoes....here's a couple of ideas to add to Koukou's great suggestions:
Don't take the skins off, just make sure they are clean of any dirt.
1. Boil steadily in salted water till done (knife should go easily through). Drain thoroughly. Crush gently with a fork so skin cracks in several spaces. Spray with oil, season with salt and pepper, put onto baking tray in pre-heated (turn on when potatoes start boiling) 220C/450F oven for 15 mins till crispy and golden brown on cracked edges.
2. Boil steadily in salted water as above. Get a potato masher, crush them into rough chunks. Mix with any or all of the following, as you like...
- fried diced bacon and onion
- cooked frozen peas
- grated cheese
- sauteed sliced leek
- loads of butter and an egg yolk or two (depending on how much you are making)
Place over low heat in pot and gently combine all ingredients.
Top, if liked, with sour cream, more grated cheese or greek yoghurt and snipped chives/sliced spring onions.
3. Boil as above, cool slightly, cut into quarters, toss gently in a bowl with tablespoon of oil (olive oil is good, but veg oil is fine) paprika and dried thyme, then onto a baking tray. Cook as in first method.
This is really really yummy with a bucket of sour cream :D
