Pan Fried Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic is an incredibly simple and tasty recipe. This is a fast and elegant way to prepare baby potatoes. It’s one of my favorite ways to prepare potatoes. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
The potatoes can be cooked with any type of oil. Personally, I prefer olive oil as it seems to result in a perfect fry and a delightful taste. Peanut oil or even vegetable may also be used, however.
It is important to remember not to over fry the potatoes as they will will become hard and rubbery. As soon as you see them turning gold and the edges just beginning to turn brown, turn off the heat.
Serve this dish with your favorite main course and a vegetable side dish or salad. The potatoes pair beef really well. As always, don’t forget your favorite dinner wine.
