Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes or slices, ensuring they are not too thick to allow for even cooking.
- Place the potato pieces in a large pot and cover them with water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are slightly tender but not fully cooked.
- Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes to dry.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and combine with the olive oil.
4. Pan-Fry the Potatoes:
- Once the oil and butter are hot, carefully add the cubed or sliced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; if necessary, cook in batches.
- Cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes on one side until they start to turn golden brown.
- Flip the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly on all sides, continuing to cook for another 5-7 minutes until all sides are golden and crispy.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the finely minced garlic to the pan.
- Stir the garlic through the potatoes, allowing it to cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the potatoes, stirring gently to evenly distribute the juice.
- Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Transfer the pan-fried potatoes to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for an extra touch of flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy as a delicious side dish or a stand-alone snack.
Tips:
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a large pan to avoid overcrowding and to allow each potato piece to get crispy.
- Start with high heat to get a good sear on the potatoes, then reduce the heat to cook them through without burning.
- Be patient and resist the urge to move the potatoes too often, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust.
- Add garlic towards the end of cooking to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.
- Experiment with additional seasonings such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika for extra flavor.
Pan-fried potatoes with garlic is a versatile and crowd-pleasing dish that's both easy to prepare and delightful to taste. The golden crust of the potatoes combined with the rich flavor of garlic creates a savory experience that is sure to impress.
