Directions
Clean and place potatoes, water and salt in 2 quart saucepan. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes.

I like to add olive oil to my boiled potatoes anyway it keeps them from boiling over.

Bring to a boil then lower to simmer till almost tender, 15 to 20 minutes (this is dependant on the type size of potato) add garlic scapes and simmer anothe 4-5 minutes. Add black cracked pepper and serve.

You can add low or non fat sour cream, or light ranch if desired.

Enjoy

    Just tried garlic scapes for the 1st time. I haven't tried this recipe but it looks good. I was assuming that you would drain the potatoes and scapes after they have simmered. Thanks for the recipe! - 6/12/13

    I am glad to find your recipe. We are buying a share at a CSA. Scapes and potatoes are both on the list of what should be available. I had not heard of scapes before. I know we will love this recipe, so I am rating it. We have bought different kinds of potatoes from the Amish in the past. - 1/31/11
