Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 leeks, dark-green parts discarded, cut into 1" pieces
4 green garlic bulbs, white and pale-green parts only, or 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes in a steamer basket in a covered pot filled with 2" water until tender, 15-20 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate; let cool. Press with your hand to flatten until skins split and some flesh is exposed (a few may fall apart).
  • Heat half of 1/3 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half of potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until potatoes start to brown, 8-10 minutes. Add half of leeks and garlic; cook, tossing, until potatoes are brown and crisp and leeks are golden and soft, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining oil, potatoes, leeks, and garlic.
  • Add lemon zest and juice to potatoes and toss well; season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled with more oil.

I loved the crispy texture of the potatoes. The leeks and green garlic added a nice flavor, but I would have liked a bit more of them.

I thought the potatoes were a bit dry. I would recommend adding some butter or olive oil to the pan before cooking.

I wasn't sure about the green garlic at first, but it really added a nice flavor to the potatoes.

I found this recipe to be a bit too bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed these potatoes. The green garlic added a nice flavor.

These potatoes were the perfect side dish for my roast chicken. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

I thought the leeks and green garlic were a bit overpowering. Next time I'll use less of them.
