Basil – potatoes in cream

Ingredients for 8 servings:

• 2 kg potatoes, smaller, with a thin skin
• 2 tbsp butter
• 5 tbsp basil, dried
• Pepper, black pepper to taste
• herbal salt
• 4 cups of whipped cream (250 g each) (you can also use low-fat)

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Brush the potatoes thoroughly and dry them. Melt the butter and brown the potatoes on all sides over high heat. Season with herb salt and black pepper. Don’t be sparing with the herb salt. Then reduce the heat and add the 4 cups of heavy cream and the dried basil. Let it boil briefly, then simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. This goes wonderfully with freshly fried salmon or just a mixed salad.
