Pan-fried potatoes with persillade

Pan-fried potatoes with persillade is a delightful dish that combines the earthy flavors of potatoes and sweet potatoes with the aromatic blend of fresh parsley and garlic. This recipe is easy to prepare and perfect for a side dish or even a light meal. The combination of butter and olive oil gives the potatoes a crispy, golden crust while keeping them tender on the inside.

Ingredients:

2 cups potatoes
320g
1 sweet potato
200g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Wash and peel the potatoes and sweet potato.
- Cut the potatoes and sweet potato into equal-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Boiling the Potatoes (Optional Step):
- If you want to make the frying quicker, partially cook the potato cubes by boiling them in salted water for 5-10 minutes until just tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
3. Making the Persillade:
- Finely chop the parsley.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Combine the chopped parsley and minced garlic in a small bowl to form your persillade. Set aside.
4. Frying the Potatoes:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle, add the potato and sweet potato cubes in a single layer to the pan. Avoid overloading the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the potatoes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
5. Adding the Persillade:
- When the potatoes are almost done, reduce the heat to low.
- Sprinkle the persillade (garlic and parsley mixture) over the potatoes.
- Stir well to ensure the garlic and parsley are evenly distributed and fragrant but not burnt, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Serving:
- Remove the pan-fried potatoes with persillade from the heat.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish to accompany meats, fish, or enjoy them on their own.

Tips:

- Uniform Slicing: Cut the potatoes and sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

- Preheating: Preheat the pan before adding the butter and oil to achieve a perfect crispy texture.

- Moderate Heat: Cook the potatoes over medium heat to avoid burning the garlic and parsley.

- Toss Gently: Toss the potatoes gently to keep them from breaking apart while cooking.

- Parsley: Add the parsley at the end of the cooking process to maintain its fresh flavor and vibrant color.

Pan-fried potatoes with persillade is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together the best of crispy textures and fresh, aromatic herbs. The addition of sweet potato adds a subtle sweetness that complements the buttery, garlicky potato chunks beautifully. Serve this as a standalone snack or pair it with your favorite main course for an unforgettable meal.
