Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| Butter | 50 grams |
| Potatoes (Aloo) | 3, peeled and cut into barrel shape |
| Garlic | 3 cloves, slit lengthwise |
| Fresh Thyme leaves | 2 sprigs |
| Salt | To taste |
Instructions
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by heating the butter over medium heat in a large skillet or saucepan. As the butter starts to foam, carefully add the peeled and barrel-cut potatoes into the pan.
-
-
Cook the Potatoes: Allow the potatoes to fry for about 5 to 6 minutes on one side, until they are deep golden brown. Turn the potatoes over and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, ensuring they become golden-brown on both sides. For a quicker cook, you may cover the pan with a lid to trap steam, which will help the potatoes cook faster while also achieving a roasted effect.
-
Infuse the Flavors: Once the potatoes have browned, add the slit garlic cloves and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan with the butter. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and oregano flakes over the potatoes to elevate the flavors. Stir gently to combine and ensure even distribution.
-
Finishing Touches: Carefully flip the potatoes again, being mindful not to break them. Let them cook for a minute longer if needed. Once they are golden and crispy on all sides, transfer them onto a plate lined with absorbent paper to soak up any excess butter.
-
Serving: Serve these perfectly skillet-roasted fondant potatoes hot and fresh. They pair beautifully with a refreshing Cottage Cheese Dip with Pepper and Olives or a Low-Fat Vegetable Dip with Herbs for a delightful appetizer or snack.
