Place the potatoes in hot water with salt and the fresh mint. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes, then drain and add a knob of butter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped mint and keep warm.
For the venison
Season the venison with salt, pepper and mushroom powder, and sear in a heavy saucepan with a knob of butter and crushed garlic until brown. Ensure the venison is seared on all sides and that the meat remains rare. Remove and reserve in a warm place.
