Poached Potato and Zucchini

Prevent your screen from going dark

Makes 2 servings 1x

Time 20 minutes

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 or 3 waxy potatoes, about 1/2 pound, scrubbed and cut into chunks
  • 2 medium zucchini, about 1/2 pound, washed and cut into chunks
  • 1 small onion, peeled and sliced
  • Olive oil, the best you can lay your hands on
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it. Meanwhile, prepare the potato and add it to the water. Simmer until the potato is half-cooked, about 10 minutes. (A thin-bladed knife will penetrate the potato easily but not pass through it.)
  2. Add the zucchini and continue to cook. When the potato and zucchini are nearly tender, add the onion. Cook until all three vegetables are tender, then drain, put in a bowl, douse with olive oil and pepper, and mash a little bit. Taste for salt and serve.
