Ingredients

• 800 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
• 60 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 5 grams Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes, about 2 cm on each side, for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and allow them to simmer for 8 minutes or until the edges start to soften slightly.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to sit for 2 minutes to release excess steam. Give the colander a gentle shake to roughen the edges of the potatoes for extra crispiness when cooked.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Crush the garlic cloves lightly with the side of a knife (do not peel) and add them to the skillet along with the rosemary and thyme sprigs.

Step 6

Cook the garlic and herbs for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Remove the garlic and herbs with a slotted spoon, leaving the infused butter and oil in the skillet.

Step 7

Toss the drained potatoes in the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the butter and oil mixture. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Optional: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully transfer the potatoes to a serving platter.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Pommes Croustillantes France!
