Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds (about 16) small "creamer" potatoes, preferably Yukon gold
Peanut oil
Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot of cold, well salted water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife slips in easily, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes. Place on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until cool. When they are cool enough to handle, hold 1 between your hands as if you were clapping and press gently with the heel of 1 hand.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use a waxy potato variety that holds its shape well when cooked, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by piercing them with a fork. The potatoes should be soft all the way through.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent them from becoming watery.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat: You want the oil to be hot enough to sear the potatoes.
  • Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides: You can do this in batches if necessary.
  • Add the garlic and rosemary to the skillet and cook for 1 minute: This will infuse the potatoes with flavor.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika or chili powder.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Potatoes da Delfina is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they are packed with flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
