New Potatoes With Balsamic and Shallot Butter
From julesong 17 years agoIngredients
- 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar shopping list
- 1/3 cup butter, melted shopping list
- 3 tablespoons shallots, minced shopping list
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided shopping list
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or tricolor pepper shopping list
- 4 lbs new potatoes, cleaned well (small red or white waxy new potatoes) or fingerling potatoes, cleaned well shopping list
- 1 1/2 tablespoons basil, finely chopped (fresh French basil) or parsley shopping list
How to make it
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the vinegar to a boil; reduce the temperature to low and simmer until the vinegar is reduced to 2 tablespoons of liquid - it will be thick and syrupy and will take about 10 minutes.
- Pour reduced vinegar into another bowl and let cool completely.
- While vinegar is cooling, place the potatoes in a saucepan and add water to cover; bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes or until tender, then drain.
- While potatoes are cooking, to the cooled reduced vinegar add the melted butter, chopped shallots, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper, whisk well to incorporate and set aside.
- Cut the drained cooked potatoes in half (or 3rds diagonally, if using fingerlings), and place in a serving bowl.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over the potatoes, toss, then add the butter mixture and basil or parsley and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately.
