Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Potatoes (Maris Piper) 300-400g
  • Onion 1/2
  • Garlic 1 clove
  • Butter 10-15g

Seasonings

  • Extra Butter 10-15g
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Coarse Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Rosemary (to taste)

Steps

  1. Peel the potatoes and soak them in water.
  2. Cut the potatoes into easy-to-eat, bite-sized cubes of 1.5cm to 2cm. Do not rinse the cut potatoes; place them directly into a bowl for immediate sautéing.
  3. Trim the core of the onion and cut it into pieces similar in size to the potatoes.
  4. If the garlic clove is large, use 1/2 clove</b>; if small, use 1 clove. Crush the garlic with the palm of your hand. Crushing the garlic helps to release its aroma.
  5. Place the garlic and 10-15g of butter in a frying pan while cold, and then start heating.
  6. Once the butter has melted, gently infuse the butter with the aroma of the garlic.
  7. After the aroma has infused, add the onion and potatoes all at once.
  8. Briefly sauté to coat everything evenly with the butter.
  9. Once the ingredients look glossy, cover the pan, reduce the heat, and steam-fry gently in butter. This step is crucial to allow the butter's aroma to develop and bring out the sweetness of the potatoes and onions while cooking them thoroughly.
  10. To achieve a golden brown color, gently shake the pan or flip the contents a few times during steaming to prevent over-steaming.
  11. Remove the lid and add an additional 10-15g of butter to taste.
  12. Cook uncovered to evaporate excess moisture and achieve a golden brown finish. This final sauté enhances the sweetness. Be careful not to burn the potatoes; avoid frequent stirring and focus on pan-frying to develop a nice crust.
  13. Continue cooking until the edges of the potatoes are tender and their sweetness is fully developed.
  14. Finally, season with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors, and lightly sprinkle with coarse black pepper.
  15. Transfer to a plate, garnish with herbs like rosemary if desired, and finish with another light sprinkle of coarse black pepper.
