Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds red creamer potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 whole fresh sage leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons optional grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red creamer potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added flavor and texture.

Step 2

Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, ensuring that all pieces are relatively uniform for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 7

Add the sage leaves to the skillet and fry for about 1-2 minutes, stirring gently until crisp and aromatic. Remove the sage leaves with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic cloves to the skillet, finely minced or grated. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant (avoid browning the garlic).

Step 9

Add the drained potatoes to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the butter and garlic mixture. Sprinkle in the kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 10

Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a light golden crust.

Step 11

Turn off the heat, transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, and garnish with the crispy fried sage.

Step 12

If desired, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy as a delicious side dish alongside roasted meats, poultry, or a fresh green salad.
