Braised New Potatoes with Rosemary and Olives

Total time: 40 minutes
    If you can't get new potatoes, or the they are large, cut them in half or quarters.  The wine, olives and rosemary lend a Mediterranean flavor.  Finish with a bit of sea salt, if you like.

 Ingredients:

• 10oz (300gr) potatoes  2 medium or 12 - 15 new potatoes (which are the size of walnuts)
• 2 tsp dried rosemary   or a sprig fresh
• 8 - 10 olives   any color or combination you have  I used both Greek and green 
• 1/3 cup (3oz, 30ml) white wine

 Instructions:

• Leave new potatoes whole; cut regular potatoes in fourths the long way, then in thirds. 
• Put everything into a small saucepan.  Cover and bring to a boil. 
• Reduce heat and simmer, gently for 15 minutes. 
• Uncover and continue cooking for another 15 - 25 minutes, depending on size, until potatoes are done. 
• Stir occasionally.  When done, a knife should go in easily and the wine should have reduced to a thick syrup. Serve.
