Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 piece Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, so that all pieces are uniform and cook evenly.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice each clove thinly.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down. Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
Cook the potatoes undisturbed for 8-10 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy.
Flip the potatoes and add the sliced garlic, thyme sprigs, and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and discard the thyme sprigs.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the sautéed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
