Algerian potato stew with fresh mint
45 min
Traditionally, this dish is prepared with wild mint frequently used in Algerian cooking but I use fresh mint from my garden; the taste is different but still delicious. Use baby potatoes with soft skin so you don’t have to peel them.

In a mortar, mash the garlic with the paprika, cumin, harissa and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pour this mixture into a pot; add another tablespoon of olive oil. Warm for 2 minutes over low heat.
Cut the unpeeled potatoes into thick slices (cut them at the last moment so they don’t go black).- Add the potatoes and a large glass of water (about 150ml) to the pot. Simmer, lid on, for 20 minutes over low heat. At this point, add the finely chopped mint, salt and pepper; simmer, lid on, for 10 or 15 more minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
