Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 large Leeks
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Vegetable broth (optional for extra moisture)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch chunks and set aside.

Step 2

Trim the green tops and roots from the leeks, leaving only the white and light green parts. Slice them in half lengthwise, then rinse under cold water to remove any grit. Slice the leeks into 1/4-inch thick half-moons.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the leeks to the pan along with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the leeks are softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 7

Add the potato chunks to the pan along with the rosemary sprigs, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to coat the potatoes evenly with the oil and seasonings.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a lid and lower the heat to medium-low. Allow the potatoes to cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until they are fork-tender.

Step 9

If the pan becomes too dry during cooking, add the vegetable broth a tablespoon at a time to prevent scorching.

Step 10

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the edges of the potatoes crisp up slightly.

Step 11

Remove the rosemary sprigs before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grilled fish, or a hearty vegetarian main course.
