Make golden, crispy-edged potatoes in your skillet with simple seasonings. This one-pan side dish pairs well with brunch or roasted meats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the potatoes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook for 10-12 minutes, undisturbed, until the bottoms are deeply golden brown and crispy.
  5. Flip the potatoes and add the butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
  6. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender throughout and golden on all sides.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, ensure your skillet is hot before adding them and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Fresh herbs can be used in place of dried herbs; add them in the last few minutes of cooking.
