Steps:

• First, give the potatoes a little scrub in cold water to remove any leftover dirt. Don't scrub too hard or you will remove all the skin.
• Cover the potatoes with cold water and add the salt and garlic. Put a lid on and bring to a boil. Once boiled, turn down to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until completely soft when poked with a knife.
• Drain the potatoes and discard the garlic. Add the butter, black pepper and a few leaves of fresh mint. Mix gently with a spoon.
• Serve in a big bowl or plate. Garnish with a nice sprinkling of crunchy Maldon sea salt and fresh sprigs of mint. Enjoy!
