Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60 mL)
    vegetable oil
  • 5
    garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 23 oz (650 g)
    baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 Tbsp (1 g)
    fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (1 g)
    fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (1 g)
    fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp
    salt

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat until shimmering, then add the garlic and cook until golden, about 15 - 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pot with salted boiling water for 12 - 15 minutes, until tender. Then drain.
  3. When the garlic cloves are golden, transfer them to a paper towel to get rid of the excess oil.
  4. Place a sieve over a bowl and strain the oil through a couple of times to get rid of the sediment. Set aside.
  5. Add the infused garlic oil to a large sauté pan on medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp and golden.
  6. Stir in the herb and salt, top with the garlic cloves, and serve - enjoy!

Was nice but took 3 X as long as the recipe said.

Hey there, Cat, so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback! One key to the speed provided is working on ingredients while others cook. We hoped to highlight this in the way we structured the directions. We'll keep an eye out for similar reviews though 😊

Let me start by saying: I'm a beginner cook, so my comment may sound kinda stupid, but I had trouble with the garlic.

Ok, maybe my English isn't good enough but is step one really saying "shimmering"? My guess is that's a typo and "simmering" is the correct word. So I tried that, but on low heat I didn't get the oil to simmer, so I turned the heat up slowly and steady. When the oil started simmering (or at least what I thought simmering looked like), I added the garlic. Within a very short time the garlic turned golden and then brown really fast. It was nowhere near the 15 minute mark. In the time it took to get every piece of garlic out, most were too roasted to eat, but even the lightbrown pieces didn't taste particularly well. My guess is that the oil was too hot, but I'm not sure... Maybe it was the rapeseed oil I used...

The rest of the recipe was easy and the potatoes tasted slightly garlicy from the oil, which was "lecker". A video of this recipe would have been helpful for a beginner like me.

Hey Amarekratio, thanks for sharing your experience with this recipe. The word "shimmer" was correct here, which refers to the stage just before the oil starts to smoke. At this point, the oil will have a slight ripple or wave-like appearance on its surface, indicating that it has reached the right temperature for frying ingredients. Because the temperature remains low, the garlic cooks gently over a longer period of time. Indeed, if you increase the temperature to a simmer, the garlic will cook much more quickly. That's also an option if you want to speed things up, though you need to keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn. I hope this helps in case you decide to give it another go!

Do we do anything additional with the garlic cloves that we set aside and blotted on the paper towel?
