Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 leeks, dark-green parts discarded, cut into 1" pieces
4 green garlic bulbs, white and pale-green parts only, or 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes in a steamer basket in a covered pot filled with 2" water until tender, 15-20 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate; let cool. Press with your hand to flatten until skins split and some flesh is exposed (a few may fall apart).
  • Heat half of 1/3 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half of potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until potatoes start to brown, 8-10 minutes. Add half of leeks and garlic; cook, tossing, until potatoes are brown and crisp and leeks are golden and soft, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining oil, potatoes, leeks, and garlic.
  • Add lemon zest and juice to potatoes and toss well; season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled with more oil.

These potatoes were a great side dish! The crispy texture and the flavorful leeks and green garlic were a perfect combination. I will definitely be making these again.

The potatoes were good, but I think I would have liked them more if I had used a different type of potato. The Yukon Gold potatoes that I used were a bit too soft for my taste.

I thought the potatoes were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some additional seasonings.

The potatoes were delicious! I especially liked the crispy texture. The leeks and green garlic added a nice flavor, but I think I would have liked it even more if I had used a bit more of them.

The potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

Very tasty! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they worked great. The leeks and green garlic added a nice savory flavor. I served these with roasted chicken and they were a perfect complement.

I love the idea of twice-cooking the potatoes - it really gives them an amazing texture. And the leeks and green garlic add a lovely subtle flavor. This is a great side dish for any occasion.
