Ingredients

  • 1 lb fingerling potatoes (baby, new or red potatoes work well too)
  • 3 garlic cloves whole or grated
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 cups extra-virgin olive oil
  • sea salt flakes and freshly-cracked black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the potatoes on a single layer in a baking dish. Add garlic and thyme springs, and season with sea salt and pepper. Pour in enough olive oil to completely cover the potatoes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 110°C/220 °F. Transfer the potatoes to the oven and cook for 90-120 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender. Avoid letting the oil bubble.
  3. Once ready, remove the potatoes from the oven and cool at room temperature.
  4. For crispy confit potatoes, transfer them to a baking sheet and broil for 2–3 minutes, or sauté them in a hot pan.
  5. Serve the confit potatoes immediately as a side dish or let them cool in the oil for a later use.

Notes

  • Stovetop confit potatoes:
  • Warm a large pan over low heat, letting the oil heat gently without boiling (it should stay around 185–200°F or 85–95°C). Add the potatoes, garlic and thyme sprigs, and let the potatoes cook slowly for 45–60 minutes, checking now and then with a fork to see if they’re tender. Make sure the oil doesn’t bubble.
  • Storing tips:
  • Store leftover potatoes confit in an airtight container with or without their cooking oil. Refrigerate and enjoy within 2 days for the best flavor and freshness.
