1/2 pound small purple or other boiling potatoes (about 5)
1/4 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 fresh mint leaves, sliced thin

  1. Step 1

    In a small heavy saucepan cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

    Step 2
