What could be better than these first little new potatoes from the islands of Noirmoutier or Ré, sweet and pairing perfectly with just a touch of salted butter and a few grains of fleur de sel. Delicious!

Ingredients for 4 servings

300 g small new potatoes, just wiped clean

For cooking

4 liters seawater or salted water
2 bay leaves and one branch of lemon thyme
10 g nori flakes (or organic seaweed powder)
a few peppercorns
100 g salted farmhouse butter
a few grains of fleur de sel placed in a small bowl at the center of the table

Step-by-step directions

1 Bring your cooking liquid to a boil with all the seasonings.

2 Once boiling, add your potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes.

3 Place everything at the center of the table and each guest, using a small wooden pick, will take one and add a small piece of butter and a few grains of fleur de sel. A special thanks to my friends at France Haliotis who, in the heart of the Aber Wrac'h in Brittany, cultivate certified organic seaweed.
