Potatoes Persillade
- 2 waxy potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup minced parsley
- 4 to 6 tablespoons canola or other high quality vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper
- Using a chef's knife, trim the unpeeled potatoes into rectangular blocks.
- Cut each into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Stack two or more slices together and cut into 1/4-inch julienne strips.
- Cut these strips into 1/4-inch dice and place in a saucepan, covered with cold water, until ready to cook.
- Place the potatoes in cold water, bring to a boil, then immediately take off the heat and drain.
- Allow the potatoes to air dry.
- Meanwhile, prepare the persillade by mixing together the garlic and parsley.
- It is possible to prepare the dish ahead to this point.
- If the potatoes aren't thoroughly dry, blot them with towels.
- Heat the oil in a very large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until they brown lightly, 6 to 8 minutes.
- You may drain and discard oil at this point, if desired.
- Add the butter and continue sauteing for another 5 minutes or longer to brown the potatoes completely.
- Just before serving, toss the potatoes with the garlic and parsley over medium heat for about 1 minute.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately.
