Description

Crispy, salty potatoes with a burst of fresh herbs and garlic. Perfect as a side dish for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs (907 g) yukon gold or fingerling potatoes
  • 3 tbsp sea salt
  • 1 small bunch rosemary
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon (zest and a squeeze of juice)
  • 3 tbsp chopped fennel fronds
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large, wide saucepan, add potatoes in an even layer. Add enough water to cover potatoes completely. Stir in sea salt, rosemary, and 3 whole garlic cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then continue to cook at a rolling boil until all water is absorbed.
  2. While potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 minced garlic cloves, lemon zest, fennel fronds, and olive oil. Stir until well combined and set aside.
  3. Once all water has evaporated, let the potatoes cool for 10 minutes. Rinse the potatoes and pat them dry, or rub off any excess salt.
  4. Add the potatoes to a large serving platter and drizzle the dressing over the top. Season with freshly ground pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, roast them at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes after step 4.
  • Substitute thyme or oregano for rosemary if preferred.
  • Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
