Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Small potatoes
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and use a melon baller to carve them into small, even spheres (about the size of a hazelnut). Rinse the potato balls in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and half the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and starts to foam, add the potato balls in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning.
Cook the potatoes over medium heat for about 15–20 minutes while turning them frequently to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. Lower the heat if needed to avoid burning.
Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper about halfway through cooking, ensuring the seasoning coats all the potato balls evenly.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through (test by piercing with a small knife; it should slide through easily), add the remaining butter to the pan.
Allow the butter to melt and coat the potatoes, giving them a shiny gloss. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately as a side dish to accompany meat, fish, or vegetarian mains. Enjoy your Potatoes Noisette fresh and warm!
