Garlic Lemon Thyme Poached Potatoes Recipes

ROASTED LEMON-GARLIC POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Toss potato wedges with olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, garlic salt, and onion powder in a large bowl. Season with freshly ground cracked pepper to taste. Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the potato wedges. Continue roasting until the potatoes are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes more. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, THYME AND LEMON

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into quarters lengthwise.
• Fill a medium frying pan with about 1/4 inch olive oil and heat to very hot; add sliced garlic until browned and fragrant.
• Remove garlic with slotted spoon.
• Oil should be quite hot, but not smoking.
• Add potatoes and let sit over moderately high heat for about 2 minutes.
• Toss potatoes, and let sit 2 minutes more (this sears the outside and helps prevent them sticking to the pan).
• Continue sauteeing, tossing fairly frequently for 7-8 minutes more, until the potatoes are lightly browned all over.
• Add the unpeeled garlic cloves and toss the potatoes with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Cover pan and cook over moderately low heat, tossing occasionally, for 8-10 minutes more, until potatoes are tender.
• *Ifnot serving immediately, keep warm on asbestos mat or warming device, but do not cover pan or potatoes will loose their freshly cooked taste.
• *(Just before removing from pan, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, and correct seasoning as neccessary.) At serving time, raise heat and toss the potatoes again for a moment or two.
• Remove from pan with slotted spoon to paper bag.
• Serve with whole clove of garlic: each person can crush the clove with their fork and mix into their potatoes.
