Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 6 stalks garlic scapes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes and cut any larger ones into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking. Leave smaller potatoes whole.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring them to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, trim the woody ends from the garlic scapes and chop them into 1-inch pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and is slightly foamy.
Add the garlic scapes to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn bright green.
Add the cooked and drained potatoes to the skillet with the garlic scapes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, tossing everything together to coat evenly.
Cook the potatoes and scapes for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the potatoes to crisp slightly and the scapes to develop a deeper flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the potatoes and scapes. Toss lightly to combine.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish.
