Ingredients

• 500 grams Yukon Gold or Baby New Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for extra flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into even-sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and the potatoes. Parboil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to gently dry the potatoes—this helps them crisp up better in the pan.

Step 4

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works best) over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter until the butter melts and starts to foam.

Step 5

Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Flip the potatoes gently with a spatula to crisp the other sides. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even browning.

Step 7

While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic and chop the rosemary (and thyme, if using).

Step 8

When the potatoes are nearly done, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in the aromatics.

Step 9

Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly seasoned.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 11

Transfer the crispy pan-roasted potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
