Pan-Roasted New Potatoes

Ingredients

  • Quartered new potatoes
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

Directions

  1. Quarter potatoes, rinse well under cold water. Drain well, spread on a clean kitchen towel and dry well.
  2. Heat oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add potatoes, cut side down, in a single layer. Cook without stirring, 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Oil should sizzle but not smoke.
  3. Turn onto other cut side and cook 5-6 minutes, until a deep golden brown.
  4. Stir potatoes and redistribute in a single layer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 6-9 minutes, until tender.
  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and gently combine.
