Perfectly Pan-Seared Herbed Potatoes for a Delightful Dinner

Ingredients

- 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes
Slice the peeled potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crisp sear.

2. Heat the Pan
Place a large non-stick skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, creating an even mixture.

3. Sauté the Garlic
Once the oil and butter mixture is hot, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

4. Sear the Potatoes
Carefully arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes on one side until the bottom turns golden brown and slightly crispy. Avoid overcrowding; work in batches if necessary.

5. Season and Flip
Sprinkle the seared side of the potatoes with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Flip the potatoes using tongs or a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 4 minutes until equally golden and tender when pierced with a fork.

6. Final Touches
Once both sides are perfectly seared, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness, if desired.
