Ingredients
- 1 lb fingerling potatoes (baby, new or red potatoes work well too)
- 3 garlic whole or grated, cloves
- 8 thyme sprigs, fresh
- 3 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- sea salt flakes salt; freshly cracked pepper
- black pepper flakes salt; freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Once ready, remove the potatoes from the oven and cool at room temperature.
- For crispy confit potatoes, transfer them to a baking sheet and broil for 2–3 minutes, or sauté them in a hot pan.
- 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.
