Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Start by washing and scrubbing the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if desired, but leaving the skins on adds texture.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and start to foam.
Once the butter is foaming, add the potato slices. Spread them out in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully flip the potato slices to cook the other side. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet.
Season with salt and pepper, making sure to evenly distribute the seasoning over the potatoes.
Continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crisp and fork-tender. Be cautious not to stir too often, as this can prevent browning.
Towards the end of cooking, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Once the potatoes are perfectly golden and cooked through, transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the crispiness, as the texture might soften upon cooling.
