Ingredients

1 1/2 lb small red boiling potatoes
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
21/2 teaspoons salt
1 /4 teaspoon black pepper
3 hard-boiled large eggs
1/2 lb sugar snap peas, trimmed and strings discarded
1 1/2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel potatoes. Cut each into 6 wedges. Transfer to a 3-quart saucepan and cover by 1 inch with cold water. Bring potatoes to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharp knife, 8 to 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, mince garlic, then mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Transfer to a small bowl, then whisk in oil, 3 tablespoons mint, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

    Step 3

    Coarsely grate eggs into a bowl using 1/4-inch holes of a box grater, then toss with remaining tablespoon mint and salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 4

    When potatoes are almost finished cooking, cook snap peas with remaining 2 teaspoons salt in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan of boiling water 1 minute, then drain. Drain potatoes and toss with vinegar, then add snap peas and oil mixture and stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with egg mint mimosa.
