Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the red potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch chunks).
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and become bubbly, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Step 4
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to develop a golden crust.
Step 5
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the potatoes and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Step 6
Add the water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the potatoes to steam for 10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the lid and turn the heat back to medium. Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and half of the parsley.
Step 8
Continue to cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until any remaining water has evaporated and the potatoes are crispy on the outside.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and garnish with the remaining parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
