worldwide recipes: beer steamed new potatoes

[Guest guest]

Beer Steamed new potatoes

1 lb small potatoes, halved

1 tbs olive oil

1 tbs butter

1 12 oz bottle beer (lager is better than ale)

fresh rosemary, basil, sage to taste (I use a lot)

1 small chopped onion

1 clove garlic, chopped

kosher salt

Heat oil and butter in heavy skillet. Saute onion followed by herbs,

then garlic-a few minutes each. Add potatoes, toss to coat, salt,

then add beer. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes or so, stirring

every few minutes. Check for doneness periodically. Different

potatoes cook at different speeds. When potatoes are done, the beer

should be gone and there will be a yummy glaze left in the bottom.

Empty potatoes onto serving platter and scrape bottom of skillet for

glaze and herb bits, pour over potatoes. Serves 4-6
