Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 whole lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and mix with the oil.
Once the skillet is hot, add the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, until the bottoms become golden brown and crispy.
Stir the potatoes gently to flip them onto the uncooked sides. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden all over.
Add the minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not burned.
Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and zest to the potatoes, tossing them gently to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the potatoes and give them one final toss.
Serve the skillet roasted potatoes warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
