Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Yukon Gold potatoes (or similar waxy variety)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (crushed lightly with skins on)
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Using a Parisienne scoop (melon baller), carve out small, uniform spheres from the potatoes and place them in cold water to prevent browning.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato spheres and blanch them for 4-5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still hold their shape. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until it begins to foam.
Add the blanched potato spheres to the skillet in a single layer. Cook them for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the crushed garlic cloves and thyme sprigs to the skillet. Stir gently to infuse the potatoes with the aromatics.
Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Remove from heat and discard the thyme sprigs and garlic cloves (if preferred). Transfer the Parisienne Potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy as an elegant side dish!
