Why Baby Golden Potatoes?
Baby golden potatoes, also known as creamer potatoes, are not just adorable but also packed with flavor and nutrients. They have a thin skin that's perfect for eating, and their creamy texture makes them a versatile ingredient. Plus, they cook quickly, making them an ideal choice for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby golden potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh, finely chopped)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Cooking Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Aluminum foil (optional, for baking)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Scrub the baby golden potatoes clean. There's no need to peel them, as the skin adds a lovely texture and flavor. Cut any larger potatoes in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
Step 2: Sauté the Potatoes
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, garlic, and rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. If the potatoes are not browning, you can transfer them to a baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3: Season and Serve
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if using) and serve immediately. Enjoy your baby golden potatoes as a side dish or a light main course.
