Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Yukon Gold or Baby New Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into even-sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and the potatoes. Parboil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to gently dry the potatoes—this helps them crisp up better in the pan.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works best) over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter until the butter melts and starts to foam.
Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Flip the potatoes gently with a spatula to crisp the other sides. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even browning.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic and chop the rosemary (and thyme, if using).
When the potatoes are nearly done, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in the aromatics.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove the skillet from heat.
Transfer the crispy pan-roasted potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
