Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 6 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small, evenly sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces) for even cooking.
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the cubed potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and allow them to dry slightly for a few minutes.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Set both aside for later use.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat. Once the butter has foamed and started to turn golden, add the potatoes in a single layer.
Cook the potatoes without stirring for 4-5 minutes to allow them to develop a golden-brown crust. Then, flip and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all sides are crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, just until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Sprinkle the cooked potatoes with the chopped parsley, remaining salt (about 1 teaspoon), and black pepper. Toss everything to combine evenly.
Transfer the Brabant Potatoes to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy as a side for grilled meats, seafood, or any main course!
