Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- If the potatoes are large, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking. Smaller potatoes can be left whole.
- Finely chop the chives and tarragon, and mince the garlic clove.
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the prepared potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the olive oil.
- Sauté the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown on the outside.
- Pour in the 1.5 cups of water. The water should come up about halfway over the potatoes.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Cook until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the cover and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate any remaining water.
- Add the minced garlic, chopped chives, and tarragon to the skillet.
- Stir the potatoes, garlic, and herbs together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with additional chives and tarragon if desired.
- Serve the potatoes warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Ensure the potatoes are cut into uniform sizes to promote even cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic based on your personal preference.
- For a crunchy texture, you can either boil the potatoes slightly less or finish them with a quick broil in the oven.
- Using fresh herbs will significantly enhance the flavor compared to dried ones.
- If you don't have fingerling potatoes, you can substitute with other small, waxy potatoes.
With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that complements any meal. Our Fingerling Potatoes with Chives and Tarragon is not just easy to prepare but also brings a burst of fresh flavors to your table. Happy cooking!
