My favorite summer potatoes

 

new potatoes with melted butter, by Heather blog

I love food and what I love even more is quick and easy food that tastes delicious and my summer potatoes are just that!


So let's dive in.


This is so easy and is nothing new or groundbreaking, but sometimes I think we need to remind ourselves that it's ok to go back to the basics, to keep things simple, and do you know what, most of the time that's the best, especially when it comes to food.

As soon as new potatoes hit the shops they're in my trolley. We definitely know summer has arrived and every dish that would have a jacket potato, chips or roasties are being replaced by my favourite summer potato.

So easy that you probably don't even need me to do a full on recipe step by step, so here's the gist


Wash and remove any knobbly bits

roughly chop

add to salted boiling water

over boil them so they are really nice & soft, almost mashable texture

drain, put back in the pan

add lashings of butter ~ yes it has to be REAL butter

lid on & give them a good swoosh around, so they're covered in all the lovely melted butter & have slightly broken up in places too

serve straight to the plate or a serving dish

with a sprinkle of dill (totally optional)


and there you have it, my favorite summer potatoes.


New potatoes smothered with real butter are so delicious and they certainly are chef's kiss. 


Mix things up by adding mayo or garlic mayo even

add your favorite veg

maybe some peas & sweetcorn

or some broccoli 🥦



Or just keep things simple like me with the melted butter.

OMG, my mouth is literally watering, I am definitely having these again tomorrow!


I hope you give these a whirl and Enjoy!

My experience with Emdogain

Image
  Hola mi amigos! Happy Thursday and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to chat today about my recent Emdogain surgery. They call it surgery, but I guess it's really a procedure, as it's done under local anaesthetic, they just numbed the area of the gum and it was done at my dentist practice. Either way it wasn't a pleasant thing to go though. My sympathy goes out to you if you're having this done or anything to do with your teeth for that matter.  I think since I had braces about 5 or 6 years ago my pain threshold for the dentist has completely gone down to zero. I never used to mind going to the dentist, but recently I dread it. It's probably because I'm getting older and things are sadly starting to go wrong. It just feels like every time you go they suggest something else that will need attention. Anyway, with that aside let me tell you a little bit about Emdogain. Well how I understand it anyway and what I've been through with i...

Skincare routine revisited + Beauty of Joseon review

Image
  Hi guys welcome back to the blog ♥ Hope everyone's well and having a good week.  * * * Back in January I shared with you what skincare products I use daily and I mentioned I had bought a couple of new items which I would report back on. Here's the  link  to that post if you wanna quick read. About a week or so after writing that post I really started looking at my skin and to be honest it wasn't looking quite right. I always seem to have a red nose and red chin which does bother me. I don't drink alcohol very much at all, literally a glass of wine a month, if that, so it can't be alcohol related. I'm thinking maybe some sort of mild rosacea maybe or maybe it is my skin reacting to the products I use. I went on good old ChatGPT and that suggested I literally strip everything back basically and just use warm water to wash my face in the morning and minimise the products I'm using on my face. When I entered what I was using it recommended to stop using the to...

Tips for a tidy home to keep you focused

Image
I don't know about you guys, but having a tidy and clean home really helps me to focus better and actually gives me motivation and more get up and go. Our house isn't necessarily messy, Mark and I are quite tidy people. I always leave the kitchen clean and tidy, dishwasher on, all the washing up done before I go to bed, morning me is always thankful of this.  But with 12 cats the house can look a little scruffy quite quickly. After the weekend I always want to get going with a new blog and start vlogging for my YouTube, but there's always a little barrier inside me stopping me and it's not until recently I've noticed that it's literally because the house isn't nice and tidy. It must bother something inside of me that can't seem to settle or focus until it's done. So now I make sure after I've dropped Mark off at the airport instead of moping around missing him, I start my housework asap. Whereas before I would do it gradually throughout the week....

We picked up my new car!

Image
  Hi guys and welcome back to the blog ♥ If you follow my  Instagram  and/or my  YouTube  you'd already know that last week we picked up my new car. And I love her! I must admit I was super nervous at first driving her as technically she's not that much wider then my Ecosport was, but she is longer, but to me she does feel bigger. I'm slowly but surely getting more used to her everyday. It does get easier every journey. If you remember we ordered the new Kuga back in December on Christmas Eve - you can catch up with the post  here .  We bought the car from the Ford dealership in San Miguel de Salinas. We've used another Ford dealership in the past for our last two Fords, unfortunately the customer service really went down hill from the showroom and service department, which to be honest really put us off. But I really liked the Kuga and didn't want to cut my nose off despite my face, as the saying goes.  So we went to the Ford in San Miguel and we...
