Golden Skillet Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by tossing potatoes with olive oil and salt before microwaving them uncovered, stirring frequently to cook them evenly until tender but still holding shape. After draining excess moisture, the potatoes are pan-fried in a single layer over medium heat in hot oil until the undersides develop a golden crust.
They are then gently stirred and flipped to brown the other sides, infusing the potatoes with fresh garlic and minced rosemary, which add aromatic and herbaceous notes. The final dish features a satisfying contrast between a crisp brown surface and a soft, creamy interior.
These potatoes can be served as a side dish accompanying roasted meats or grilled vegetables. Their crispy edges with fragrant garlic and rosemary make them flavorful without overwhelming the natural potato taste.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes peeled if using Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces, Yukon gold or red variety
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon
- salt
- black pepper
- 2 garlic finely minced, cloves
- 2 teaspoons rosemary minced fresh
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Microwave uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes, until the potatoes soften but still hold their shape. It is really important to stir every couple of minutes or the potatoes might not cook evenly and you'll end up with some pieces that are super tender and others that are hard. Drain any excess liquid from the potatoes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Don't add the potatoes until the oil is sizzling. Add the potatoes (cut side down if using red potatoes with the skins on) in a single layer and cook them without stirring for 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown on the first side.
- Gently stir the potatoes, rearranging them again into a single layer and flipping so the unbrowned side is down. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown on the second side, another 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine 1 teaspoon oil, minced garlic and rosemary. Clear the center of the pan and add the mixture, cooking and mashing the garlic into the pan for about 30 seconds. Take care not to let the garlic burn. Stir the potatoes with the garlic/rosemary mixture. Serve.
