Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

I dice the potatoes with their skins, sometimes the size of a fingernail, sometimes the size of a thumbnail, into even-sized cubes. I then fry the cubes in clarified butter until I’m happy with the color. In the meantime, I’ve heated my oven to 200°C. Then I put the pan in the oven. Now I decide on the flavoring: sometimes it’s rosemary, sometimes thyme, sometimes garlic, or sage. You can mix and match, but for me it’s either/or. I add the seasoning right at the end, just before the pan is taken out of the oven. I always add pepper. I only add salt on the plate – coarse salt, to be precise. Adding salt late in the process makes the potatoes crispy.
