Crispy Stoved Wild Garlic Potatoes

  • Time preparation 5 minutes
  • cook time 30 minutes
  • Serve Serves 4

This traditional, stovetop method of cooking potatoes results in a great combination of textures, with the crispy ‘crust’ and the soft, steamed potato. The potatoes take on a nutty sweetness flavoured by the wild garlic, too.

Recipe Taken from Garlic by Jenny Linford, (£14.99, Ryland Peters & Small)
  • 500g new potatoes
  • 2–3 tbsps clarified butter, or 2 tbsps rapeseed oil mixed with 2 tsps butter
  • Sea salt flakes, to season
  • 25g wild garlic leaves (or garlic chives if wild garlic is not in season), thoroughly rinsed and chopped into 2.5 cm lengths

Chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks, roughly 3 x 2 cm.

Heat the clarified butter in a heavy, lidded frying pan until hot. Add in the potato pieces, flesh side down, arranging them in a single layer in the pan. Season with sea salt flakes and sprinkle over the chopped wild garlic.

Cover the pan and cook over a medium heat without disturbing the potatoes for 30 minutes until they are soft and tender. Carefully turn over the potatoes, revealing their crispy golden brown side and serve them this side up.
