Garlic and olive oil glazed potatoes FAQ:
The potatoes should simmer for about 10-12 minutes once the water reaches a boil. After that, an additional 5 minutes of cooking with garlic and olive oil will help infuse the flavors and add a slight crispiness.
The potatoes are done when they are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork. Check them after 10 minutes of simmering to avoid overcooking.
Yes, you can store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet for best results to maintain their texture.
You can substitute olive oil with other oils such as avocado oil or vegetable oil. Keep in mind that the flavor will differ slightly based on the oil used.
Medium-starch potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes work best, as they become tender while still holding their shape. Avoid high-starch potatoes like Russets, which may become too mushy.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russets for the best texture.
- Make sure to slice the potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
- For a hint of extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme.
