Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and scrubbing the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if desired, but leaving the skins on adds texture.

Step 2

Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and start to foam.

Step 5

Once the butter is foaming, add the potato slices. Spread them out in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 6

Carefully flip the potato slices to cook the other side. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper, making sure to evenly distribute the seasoning over the potatoes.

Step 8

Continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crisp and fork-tender. Be cautious not to stir too often, as this can prevent browning.

Step 9

Towards the end of cooking, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are perfectly golden and cooked through, transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.

Step 12

Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the crispiness, as the texture might soften upon cooling.
