Categories     Potato

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb tiny new potatoes (each about 2 oz.)
6 large garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a 1 1/2 quart casserole.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir to coat.
  • Cover with either tightly fitting lid or plastic wrap. (Note: I prefer using the plastic wrap, fitted tightly. Do NOT pierce plastic wrap to vent -- the wrap will end up doming during heating, this is a good thing.).
  • Cook at 100% for approximately 8 minutes, 1000 watt oven, or until potatoes are tender. (Microwave cooking is terribly easy, once you get the feel for how cooking times play out in your own oven.).
  • If using plastic wrap, prick to release steam. (Please be careful, there is a lot of steam. Don't get a steam burn!).
  • Voila! Yum!

Tips:

  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Give the potatoes enough space to brown and crisp properly. Avoid overcrowding the pan or they will steam instead of fry.
  • Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, use 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder instead.
  • Add Herbs and Spices: Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the potatoes for extra flavor. Paprika, rosemary, thyme, or oregano are great choices.
  • Don't Skip the Butter: The butter adds a delicious richness and helps the potatoes brown nicely. If you're vegan, you can use olive oil instead.
