Ingredients
1 pound of very small potatoes--I prefer fingerling potatoes1 Tablespoon olive oilfresh chopped thyme or rosemary, to tastekosher salt & pepper, to taste1 thinly sliced or minced large garlic clove(optional)
This recipe is fast and easy. Technique is what's important:
Set each potato on a hard surface and give it one sharp whack-- I use the smooth side of my meat pounder, or you can use a rolling pin. You want to see a small crack (or fissure). Don't whack the potato too hard!
Bring the olive oil to a medium high heat; add potatoes, salt & pepper and herbs.
Cover with a lid, and shake the pan back and forth to coat the potatoes with olive oil.
Turn the heat to a medium/low and allow to cook for about 20 minutes, or until a knife inserts easily.
Shake the pan every few minutes, to brown the potatoes.
In the last few minutes, add the fresh garlic and shake.
Remove the lid for 2-3 more minutes to allow moisture to evaporate.
Delicious!
