Potatoes

Herbs and Cheese

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into even-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches thick.

  2. 2

    Garlic Preparation

    Peel and crush the garlic cloves lightly with a knife, leaving them whole.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large oven-safe pot, add the olive oil and heat over medium-low heat until it’s warm, but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Confit the Potatoes

    Add the prepared potatoes and crushed garlic cloves to the pot. Ensure the potatoes are submerged in the oil. Cook on low heat for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart.

  3. 5

    Seasoning

    Once the potatoes are tender, season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to coat the potatoes evenly.

  4. 6

    Add Herbs

    Add the chopped fresh rosemary and thyme to the pot, stirring gently to combine.

  5. 7

    Crisp the Potatoes

    Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the potatoes to fry in the oil for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy.

Finishing Touches

  1. 8

    Add Parmesan

    Remove the pot from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the crispy potatoes while they are still hot. Toss gently to ensure even coverage of the cheese.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving platter and serve immediately while hot.
