Instructions
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into wedges or chunks, depending on your preference for size.
-
-
Sauté the Garlic: Heat a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves, allowing them to release their aroma and infuse the oil.
-
Add Potatoes: Once the garlic is fragrant, add the potato wedges to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the potatoes gently, making sure they are well-coated with the oil and seasoning.
-
Infuse the Rosemary: Place the fresh rosemary sprigs into the pan, allowing them to release their fragrant oils as the potatoes cook. This will add a lovely depth of flavor.
-
Add Water and Simmer: Pour 50g of water into the skillet. Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook over moderate heat, turning occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
-
Crisp the Potatoes: As the potatoes near the end of their cooking time, increase the heat slightly and remove the lid. Let the potatoes cook uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing them to become golden and crispy on the edges.
-
Finishing Touch: Once the potatoes are crispy and fully cooked, remove the rosemary sprigs and discard the garlic cloves. Serve the skillet potatoes hot as a delicious and aromatic side dish.
These skillet potatoes, infused with rosemary and garlic, are an ideal accompaniment to any meal, offering a perfect balance of crispy edges and tender insides. The infusion of rosemary gives them an aromatic and savory flavor that will elevate your dining experience. Whether paired with meats or enjoyed alone, these potatoes are a delightful side dish for any occasion!
