Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and scrub the red potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch chunks).
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and become bubbly, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to develop a golden crust.
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the potatoes and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add the water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the potatoes to steam for 10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and turn the heat back to medium. Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and half of the parsley.
Continue to cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until any remaining water has evaporated and the potatoes are crispy on the outside.
Turn off the heat and garnish with the remaining parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
