Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt
4 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into a medium dice
Olive oil
1/2 Spanish onion, cut into a small dice
1 pinch crushed red pepper
Splash of chicken stock, as needed
1 bunch fresh chives, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Add 3 cloves of smashed garlic, a few large pinches of salt and potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and discard the garlic. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet tray lined with a clean dish towel to dry slightly.

Add the crushed red pepper and the remaining 2 cloves garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and tender, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooked potatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes start to get crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. (If the potatoes get too dry, add the chicken stock.) Remove from the heat and stir in the chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use russet potatoes for a crispy result, or Yukon Gold potatoes for a softer texture.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help to remove excess starch and make the potatoes crispier.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help to create a crispy crust on the potatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the potatoes occasionally: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.
