- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and end core removed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped flat leaf Italian parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 large lemon zest
- 1 large lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes (24 oz bag), all the same size if possible
Instructions
Step 1
In a large pot of salted water, place the well-scrubbed potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and rinse with cold water. Using your palm or the back of a large spatula, press the potatoes until slightly mashed.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until slightly brown, then remove and discard it. Add the pressed potatoes to the skillet and cook without stirring until the bottoms are a nice golden brown color. Using a spatula or cooking tongs, turn the potatoes and cook them for an additional time. Transfer the potatoes to a plate.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, parsley, thyme, vinegar, and sea salt. Add the cooked potatoes to the bowl and gently coat them well with the mixture.
