Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds (about 16) small "creamer" potatoes, preferably Yukon gold
Peanut oil
Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot of cold, well salted water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife slips in easily, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes. Place on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until cool.
  • When they are cool enough to handle, hold 1 between your hands as if you were clapping and press gently with the heel of 1 hand. You want to smash the potato to about a 1/2-inch thickness while keeping it in 1 piece. The skin will split, but the potato should not fall apart. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. You can prepare the potatoes to this point several hours ahead.
  • Pour 1/2-inch of peanut oil in the large skillet and heat over moderately high heat.
  • Combine the parsley, garlic, and lemon zest in a serving bowl and set aside.
  • When the oil begins to smoke, carefully put the smashed potatoes in the oil and cook on both sides until crisp and well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and saute until lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to the bowl with the parsley-lemon mixture.
  • When the potatoes are ready, add them to the garlic mixture and toss gently. Serve immediately. Save the leftover garlic oil and use it to dress a salad or vegetables the following day.

The potatoes were not crispy at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients.

The potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the sauce was delicious.

Potatoes da Delfina is a fantastic recipe! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
