Make Crispy, Creamy Diner-Style Home Fries At Home

• 2 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
• 8 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 2 sprigs whole rosemary, plus 1 sprig picked
• 2 sprigs thyme
• 5 bay leaves
• Sea salt to taste
• Canola oil for frying

1. Place the potatoes, garlic, peppercorns, rosemary sprigs, thyme, and bay leaves in a heavy bottom pot and cover with cold water. Add salt to taste.
2. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer and cook until potatoes are still firm but cooked through about 20 minutes. Strain and cool the potatoes on a baking sheet. (if you can, use a slotted spoon to remove potatoes from the pot rather than pour into a colander to keep potatoes and garlic from getting smashed).
3. Discard the herb stems.
4. When potatoes are completely cool, tear each one in half. (The cooling can take place overnight, if you just poach the potatoes before bed.)
5. In a heavy skillet, add a couple tablespoons of canola oil and crisp the potatoes in batches along with garlic cloves.
6. Sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt.
