Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Potatoes with Lavender and Rosemary 2 pounds small potatoes, such as Yellow Finn, Yukon Gold, fingerling, or new red or white potatoes 6 fresh lavender sprigs, or 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds 3 tablespoons butter or margarine 4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh lavender buds, or 2 teaspoons dried 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary 1/2 teaspoon salt Parboiling the potatoes: Wash the potatoes and cut them in halves or quarters. If using fingerlings, slice them crosswise 3/4 inch thick. Put them in a saucepan with the lavender sprigs and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain. Some of the lavender buds will cling to the potatoes. Final Cooking: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, chopped lavender and rosemary, and salt; cook, tossing occasionally, until the potatoes are very hot and the flavors have a chance to meld, 5 to 8 minutes. " I saw a film today oh boy The English Army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away But I just had the book. I'd love to turn you on Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, And looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat. " Source: A Day in the Life - Beatles Next-gen email? Have it all with the all-new Mail Beta.
