Pommes Persillade Recipes

POMMES PERSILLADE (POTATOES WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC)

Steps:

• Prepare the potatoes by doing a medium dice. Cut all four sides off, along with the top and bottom until you are left with a rectangular prism of potato. Then split that lengthways, and then the two halves lengthways again. Then cut cubes from the sticks.
• Set a pot of boiling water. Add the potato cubes and let boil for 15 minutes. While this is happening you can prepare the garlic and parsley.
• In a pan add the oil and put the heat on max. When the potatoes have boiled for 15 minutes, strain them and give them a shake to get rid of excess water. Then pour out the potatoes directly onto the hot pan. Let fry in the oil for about 2 minutes a side. You can agitate the pan if you want to get the oil more up on the sides.
• Add the butter and once it begins to melt add the garlic and parsley. Let cook just until the garlic and parsley gets fragrant. At this point you can also add some salt if you want. Shake the pan around and give it a good toss to coat all the potatoes in the garlic and parsley.
• Move to a side dish plate, or a tapas plate, and serve hot.

POMMES PERSILLADE

Steps:

• Place potatoes in pot of heavily salted, cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, drain and transfer potatoes to a parchment lined baking sheet. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine garlic and parsley in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat enough oil to completely coat the bottom of a large skillet over high heat. Pat potatoes dry with a paper towel to remove any remaining moisture. Once oil is barely smoking, carefully add potatoes. If potatoes are too crowded in the pan, you will need to work in batches. Move potatoes around so that all sides are cooked evenly. Cook until potatoes are crispy and golden brown on the exterior, about 8 minutes. Carefully pour off any excess oil in the pan. Turn heat to low and add butter. Toss until melted, about 1 minute. Take pan off heat, add parsley mixture and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Top with Parmesan and serve immediately.

POTATOES PERSILLADE

Steps:

• Using a chef's knife, trim the unpeeled potatoes into rectangular blocks. Cut each into 1/4-inch thick slices. Stack two or more slices together and cut into 1/4-inch julienne strips. Cut these strips into 1/4-inch dice and place in a saucepan, covered with cold water, until ready to cook.
• Place the potatoes in cold water, bring to a boil, then immediately take off the heat and drain. Allow the potatoes to air dry. Meanwhile, prepare the persillade by mixing together the garlic and parsley. It is possible to prepare the dish ahead to this point.
• If the potatoes aren't thoroughly dry, blot them with towels. Heat the oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until they brown lightly, 6 to 8 minutes. You may drain and discard oil at this point, if desired. Add the butter and continue sauteing for another 5 minutes or longer to brown the potatoes completely. Just before serving, toss the potatoes with the garlic and parsley over medium heat for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

• When ready to serve, remove from the heat and stir in the butter and parsley.
