Desirée Potatoes Pan-Cooked With Rosemary And Garlic - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs desiree potatoes (750 g) or 1 1/2 lbs other red potatoes, unpeeled and quartered lengthwise (750 g)
sea salt
1/3 cup virgin olive oil (80 ml)
10 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary

Preparation

Add potatoes to a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add salt to taste and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool completely.
Warm the oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute gently until just beginning to color and soften, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer potatoes to a plate. Set aside.
Increase heat to high, add the potatoes and saute, shaking the pan back and forth, until almost tender, about 12 minutes.
Add the sauteed garlic, rosemary and salt to taste. Continue to saute until the potatoes are crisp and golden, about 2 minute more.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve at once. Have guests squeeze the garlic cloves from their papery sheaths onto their own servings.
