Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and slice them in half. If some potatoes are significantly larger, cut them into quarters so all pieces are roughly the same size.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Zest the lemon and squeeze out its juice. Set both aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet with the cut side facing down. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Cook the potatoes undisturbed for 8–10 minutes, or until the cut side is golden brown and crispy. Stir them gently to flip and cook the other sides for an additional 8–10 minutes until fully tender.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the skillet. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the potatoes and toss everything together to coat the potatoes evenly. Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
