Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skins on for added texture and flavor.
2. Boil the Potatoes:
- Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Carefully add the chopped potatoes to the boiling water.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until they are just tender but still firm (they should not be fully cooked, as they will finish cooking during sautéing).
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
3. Sauté the Potatoes:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet and let them melt together, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.

4. Cook the Garlic:
- Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the minced garlic to the skillet.
- Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until it becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5. Add the Potatoes:
- Add the drained potatoes to the skillet.
- Toss to coat the potatoes in the melted butter, oil, and garlic.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer for even cooking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Saute:
- Sauté the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

7. Add Fresh Herbs:
- When the potatoes are almost done, sprinkle the fresh lemon thyme leaves over the potatoes.
- Stir well to distribute the herbs evenly.
8. Finish and Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Transfer the sautéed potatoes to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon thyme if desired.

Tips:

- Choose small, waxy potatoes for the best texture and flavor in this dish.

- To speed up the cooking process, parboil the potatoes before sautéing them.

- Ensure the pan is hot before adding the potatoes to get a nice, crispy exterior.

- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the potatoes in batches if necessary to avoid steaming them instead of sautéing.

- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, and feel free to add a splash of lemon juice for extra zest.

With just a few ingredients and simple steps, sautéed potatoes with garlic and thyme can elevate any meal. The combination of tender potatoes, fragrant garlic, and refreshing lemon thyme offers a harmony of flavors that is both comforting and sophisticated. Enjoy this versatile dish with your favorite main course or as a stand-alone delight.
