Sauteed potatoes with leek
You can make these sautéed potatoes with leek with leftover boiled potatoes or from scratch. Alternatively, you can pre-cook them and do the frying just before serving. It’s ideal as a side dish with grilled/fried meat and fish.
Ingredients
Method
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks then put them in a pot of lightly salted water. Bring to the boil, turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and keep cool or refrigerate for later use.
- Cut the leek into rings.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently sauté the leek for about 8 minutes over low heat.
- Add the potatoes and thyme, turn up the heat, and fry until they are lightly browned – longer if you want the potatoes to be more crunchy.
- Stir in the garlic and lemon zest, season with salt and pepper, then turn off the heat.
- Serve with fresh herbs scattered on top.
