Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary plus 1/2 teaspoon chopped, for the seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1/2 lemon
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large sauce pan and cover with cold water. Add the garlic, rosemary sprigs and lemon half to the water and season well with salt. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain well and immediately cut the potatoes into halves. Place on a plate to allow the steam to escape. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the seasoning salt, mix together the lemon zest, chopped rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers when it swirls in the skillet. Add the potatoes cut-side down to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the skillet. This may be done in 2 batches. Cook until the bottom of the potatoes are a deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a metal spatula, flip the potatoes and cook on the second side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and drain well. Sprinkle with the seasoning salt and serve warm.

These were great!!
Superb!
Need to try with lime. Amazing.
This is a fantastic recipe. Made several times by the recipe, and I have used the parboiling technique for making fries for poutine. Always compliments from the eaters(kids) and guests. Best way to make French fries.

Delicious these potatoes were amazing. I loved that you boil the lemon and rosemary with the potatoes.
After watching Giada make this for her and Jade, my family insisted I make the the entire menu. I’ve already reviewed the pork recipe, which was awesome, now time for the potatoes. I followed this recipe exactly as written, and they were the best potatoes cooked like that , that I’ve ever had. My family raved and loved the hint of lemon and Rosemary. All I can say is the entire meal was a success. Thanks Giada!!!
Really good!
Delicious!
Another winner from Giada!!!! This was a cinch to make, and very tasty. Definitely a KEEPER.
Easy to make, and the whole family raved about them. Especially the wife!
