PAN-ROASTED POTATOES

I grew up eating potatoes a lot. I like it mashed, baked, roasted, you name it. Potatoes are good in soups and salads, as a main course and on the side. Potatoes are available all-year round. When choosing potatoes, look for smooth, well-shaped, firm potatoes free of blemishes or sprouts. For this recipe I prefer to use Golden or Red Potatoes, because they hold their shape better, and don’t get mushy in a cooking process. So let’s get cooking.

Ingredients:

  •  medium potatoes, unpeeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • fresh dill, parsley, scallions, chopped (optional)

Place unpeeled potatoes in a medium pot, cover with water, bring to boil, add salt.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Drain potatoes, let cool. (I gave them an ice bath, because I didn’t want to wait 😉

When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them.

Preheat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil. Roast potatoes over high heat until golden brown. You can of course roast them in the oven, but it will take longer for potatoes to brown.

These Pan-Roasted Potatoes would go perfectly with a Pot Roast, or Meatloaf, or a Flank Steak Roll . If you want to keep this dish vegetarian, just serve it with a Spring Salad or a Coleslaw, or any salad of your choice.

Enjoy!
