Garlic and olive oil glazed potatoes are a simple yet delicious side dish that complement a variety of main courses. This recipe features tender potatoes enhanced with the rich flavors of garlic and olive oil, creating a savory and satisfying dish that is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients:

1 garlic clove
3g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
2 potatoes
430g
1 cup water
230g
2 tbsp olive oil
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic: Start by peeling and mincing the garlic clove. Set it aside.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are relatively uniform for even cooking.
3. Cook the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a medium-sized saucepan and add the 1 cup of water. Sprinkle the salt over the potatoes. Cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Simmer and Cook: Once the water boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain any excess water.
5. Add Olive Oil and Garlic: In the same saucepan, add the olive oil. Turn the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6. Glaze the Potatoes: Add the cooked potatoes back into the saucepan with the garlic and olive oil. Gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the garlic and oil mixture. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become slightly crispy and infused with the garlic and olive oil.
7. Season and Serve: Taste the potatoes and adjust seasoning with extra salt if needed. Serve the garlic and olive oil glazed potatoes hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.

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.

- To save time, you can microwave the potatoes for a few minutes before glazing them.

In just a few simple steps, you can create a delectable side dish of garlic and olive oil glazed potatoes. This recipe's simplicity and rich flavors make it a versatile addition to any meal. Enjoy these tender, flavorful potatoes on their own or pair them with your favorite entrée for a complete dining experience.
