Time 48m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds baby or fingerling potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra as needed
3 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 lemons, zested
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Put the potatoes in an 8-quart stockpot with enough cold water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow to dry for 5 minutes. Using the palm of your hand, gently press the potatoes until lightly smashed.
  • In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly brown, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic and discard. In batches, add the potatoes and cook, without stirring, until the bottoms turn golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes over and cook, drizzling with oil, if needed, until golden brown on the other side for another 5 to 8 minutes.
  • For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spoon the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently until coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound fingerling potatoes
1 tablespoon coarse salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
2 tablespoons dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with water in a pan. Add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and halve lengthwise.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, cut sides down, and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in stock, wine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until liquid is reduced by a third, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Add thyme and butter, and stir until butter has melted. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Potatoes: For the best results, choose firm and starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Russet, or Red potatoes. Avoid waxy varieties like new potatoes, which tend to hold their shape less well during frying.
  • Soaking the Potatoes: To prevent the potatoes from browning too quickly and to help them crisp up evenly, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This step also helps to remove excess starch, which can make the potatoes gummy.
  • Cutting the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. For a classic pan-fried potato dish, cut them into 1/2-inch thick wedges or slices. For a more rustic look, cut them into irregular chunks.
  • Seasoning the Potatoes: Before frying, season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. This will help to enhance their flavor and make them more flavorful.
  • Using the Right Oil: Choose a high-heat cooking oil with a neutral flavor, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a lower smoke point and can burn easily.
  • Frying the Potatoes: Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the potatoes and fry them in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Flipping the Potatoes: Use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes every few minutes to ensure that they brown evenly on all sides. Be careful not to stir the potatoes too frequently, as this can break them up.
  • Adding the Lemon: Once the potatoes are golden brown and tender, add the lemon juice and zest to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute or two, or until the lemon flavor has infused the potatoes.
  • Serving the Potatoes: Serve the pan-fried potatoes immediately while they are hot and crispy. They can be enjoyed as a side dish, a main course, or even as a snack.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried potatoes with lemon are a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few basic ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you prefer them crispy or soft, these pan-fried potatoes are a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
