SAUTEED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, THYME AND LEMON
These are a fairly quick and fresh tasting version of steak fries. These are based upon Julia Child's 'Pommes de terre sautees a l'ail'. She also suggests that you can use sage or rosemary in place of the thyme.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and cut into quarters lengthwise.
- Fill a medium frying pan with about 1/4 inch olive oil and heat to very hot; add sliced garlic until browned and fragrant.
- Remove garlic with slotted spoon.
- Oil should be quite hot, but not smoking.
- Add potatoes and let sit over moderately high heat for about 2 minutes.
- Toss potatoes, and let sit 2 minutes more (this sears the outside and helps prevent them sticking to the pan).
- Continue sauteeing, tossing fairly frequently for 7-8 minutes more, until the potatoes are lightly browned all over.
- Add the unpeeled garlic cloves and toss the potatoes with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Cover pan and cook over moderately low heat, tossing occasionally, for 8-10 minutes more, until potatoes are tender.
- *Ifnot serving immediately, keep warm on asbestos mat or warming device, but do not cover pan or potatoes will loose their freshly cooked taste.
- *(Just before removing from pan, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, and correct seasoning as neccessary.) At serving time, raise heat and toss the potatoes again for a moment or two.
- Remove from pan with slotted spoon to paper bag.
- Serve with whole clove of garlic: each person can crush the clove with their fork and mix into their potatoes.

SAUTEED POTATOES IN LEMON & GARLIC
From The Popular Potato, Best Recipes (1989). I wanted to try something different with my fave vegetable. I ate it on its own, but I can see this along-side fish or chicken! I used smaller potatoes and cut them in wedges instead of using slices.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH PRESERVED LEMON, GARLIC, AND CHILES
Salty, tangy preserved lemon plays two parts here: it's roasted on the same pan as the potatoes, along with garlic, jalapenos, and red onion, and it's used to amp up the parsley-and-mint salad that's sprinkled on just before serving.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss potatoes with 1/3 cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet, season with salt, and roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 40 minutes. Add jalapenos, garlic, onion, and 7 tablespoons preserved lemon. Cook, tossing once, until onion and jalapenos are softened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt.
- Meanwhile, toss parsley, mint, and lemon juice with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 1 tablespoon preserved lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature, with herb salad sprinkled over top.
Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss for sautéing. These hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like Russet, resulting in a tender interior and crispy exterior.
- Cut potatoes evenly: Consistent-sized potato pieces ensure even cooking. For best results, cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
- Use quality garlic and thyme: Fresh garlic and thyme add distinct flavors to the dish. If using dried thyme, use half the amount of fresh thyme.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Sauté potatoes in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even browning. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of sautéing.
- Be patient: Sautéing potatoes takes time and patience. Resist the urge to stir them constantly. Allow them to cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring to promote even browning.
- Don't overcook: Overcooked potatoes become mushy. Cook them until they are tender on the inside but still slightly firm on the outside.
Conclusion:
Sautéed potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with various main courses. With the right technique and a few simple ingredients, you can easily create a flavorful and satisfying dish. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the recipe to your taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give sautéed potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
