Bistro Potatoes Sauteed With Garlic & Walnut Oil - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup walnut oil (60 ml) or 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 lbs firm smooth-skinned small potatoes (1 kg)
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 bunch parsley, minced
1 bunch chives, minced

Preparation

Peel (or, if the skin is thin, leave the peel on) and thinly slice potatoes. Wrap in a thick towel to absorb any liquid.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the potatoes and saute, shaking the pan from time to time until the potatoes are thoroughly cooked and browned on both sides, about 20 minutes. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste as the potatoes are being tossed.
To serve, sprinkle on the garlic, parsley, and chives, and toss to blend.
