3 lbs. new potatoes

2 T dried minced garlic

2 T cayenne pepper

Scrub new potatoes and add to a large pot of boiling water, along with the garlic and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to simmer and cover.

Cook for 20 minutes and then remove from heat. Cool and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld (these get hotter and hotter the longer they sit) and slowly reheat in their own liquid.

Split and serve with real butter. Sprinkle with freshly ground garlic pepper and Kosher salt.

Mashed Spicy New Potatoes

Reheat potatoes from above recipe in their own liquid and then strain (reserve liquid).

Put potatoes into a large, oven-safe mixing bowl, add a stick of butter, some chopped green onion, a little of the reserved liquid and about a T of the garlic.

Season with Kosher salt, and then beat with a mixer, adding more liquid if needed.
