Ingredients
- 1 pound medium red or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus more, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or oregano, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional
Directions
Step 1 –On a cutting board with a sharp knife, quarter the potatoes lengthwise and cut each quarter crosswise into 1-inch chunks.
Step 2 –In a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering.
Step 3 –In a single layer, cut-side down, evenly arrange the potatoes in the heated vegetable oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt.
Step 4 –With a tight-fitting lid, cover the potato mixture and cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are tender and the bottoms are golden-brown, about 20 minutes.
Step 5 –Uncover the potatoes and, using a pair of tongs, flip each chunk and season them with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the black pepper.
Step 6 –Increase the heat to medium-high.
Step 7 –Uncover and cook the potatoes, moving the pieces around as needed so the potatoes brown evenly, until the second side is golden-brown, about 5-10 minutes.
Step 8 –Add the thyme, the rosemary, the garlic, and the butter to the potato mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until the butter is melted and the herbs are fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 9 –Taste the potato mixture for seasoning and add the extra salt and the extra black pepper as needed.
Step 10 –Serve hot.
