Pan-Roasted Potatoes with Anchovies, Genoa Style
Marcella is always full of surprises and she makes sure you read her directions carefully. Take this recipe – pretty simple, eh? Potatoes, olive oil, butter, anchovies, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper cooked in a sauté pan. What could be easier?
Well, actually, this recipe is pretty easy – another one-panner coming in under an hour with pretty common ingredients. BUT, the tricky part is the garlic. In every other recipe I’ve prepared for this project, the garlic is added at or very near the beginning of the process, but here it is added at the final step, likely (I’m guessing here) to make sure the distinctive taste of the garlic comes through.
Final result below.
What I liked about this recipe:
Excellent results! – adds some class to the humble spud.
What didn’t I like about this recipe:
No problems.
Will I make it again?
Yes
This looks amazing. I will have to try this soon.
Rich – It’s sea salt, not sawdust. I never use pre-grated parm any more.
Appreciate the kudos.
This is one of my favorites. It looks great Doug!
There is nothing humble about spuds, Doug. I have never known a vegetable I didn’t like, but potatoes lord it over everyone. Wonderful job, Doug!
