Ingredients
- 500 g new potatoes
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 250 ml vegetable or chicken stock
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. If they are large, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan with a lid, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Add the new potatoes to the pan in a single layer, cut side down if halved, and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to brown slightly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the thyme sprigs over the potatoes, then pour in the vegetable or chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes braise for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should glide through easily.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are tender, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to allow any excess liquid to evaporate, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the pan from heat, discard the thyme sprigs, and sprinkle the potatoes with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish to complement meat, fish, or vegetarian mains.
