Pommes de Terre Sarladaises

Pommes de Terre Sarladaises are a classic French dish from the Périgord region, featuring sautéed potatoes cooked in duck fat, garlic, and fresh herbs. This healthy version uses olive oil and is seasoned with thyme for a lighter yet flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

• potatoes - 400 grams
• extra virgin olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• sea salt - to taste
• black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
2. Rinse the potato slices under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4. Add the potato slices to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 10 minutes, without stirring, until the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Flip the potatoes and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and tender.
6. Add the minced garlic and chopped thyme to the skillet, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.
7. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
