Ingredients
- 8white potatoes, about 2½ pounds, peeled
- 4tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
- Salt to taste if desired
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2tablespoons butter
- 1tablespoon finely minced garlic
- ½cup finely chopped parsley
Preparation
- Step 1
Cut each potato into ⅛-inch-thick slices. There should be about 8 cups.
- Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy skillet and add half the potatoes slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring gently so that the slices cook evenly without breaking. Line a mixing bowl with a sieve. When the slices are nicely browned on both sides, after about 7 minutes, scoop them out and put them in the colander.
- Step 3
Add the remaining oil to the skillet and add the remaining potato slices. Cook as before, until browned, about 7 minutes. Remove the potatoes to the colander. Pour off the oil from the skillet.
- Step 4
Heat the butter in a skillet and add the potatoes. Cook, shaking the skillet and tossing or turning the potatoes gently, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with garlic and toss and stir to distribute the garlic. Sprinkle with parsley and stir gently to blend.
