Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 1 lb fingerling potato
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/3 cup parsley, chopped
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup vegetable oil, enough to equal 1/2-inch -1-inch depth in the skillet
• 1/2 tablespoon butter

Recipe

• 1 wash/scrub the fingerling potatoes and boil, unpeeled, for 12 minutes. drain and let cool.
• 2 take each fingerling between your hands and squash it between your palms. the idea is to beak the skin and flatten the potato, but not to crush it completely; it should still stay intact as much as possible.
• 3 heat a skillet with ½â€? to 1â€? of oil on high heat. when the oil is hot, about 350f, deep-fry each fingerling, turning them over midway when each side is browned. drain on paper towels.
• 4 in another pan, melt butter and add minced garlic and parsley. stir briefly over medium heat to release flavors, then toss fingerling potatoes into this mixture.
