Ingredients
Scale
1.5 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Pinch of paprika (optional)
Instructions
Boil a pot of salted water and parboil the potato chunks for 7–9 minutes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain well.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until shimmering and lightly browned.
Spread the parboiled potatoes in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes, until the edges turn golden and crisp. Flip and cook another 5–7 minutes for even color.
Stir in the minced garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in Parmesan (if using). Reduce heat to low and simmer 2–3 minutes, until the sauce coats the potatoes and thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Let the potatoes rest for a couple of minutes so the sauce thickens a touch and the flavors meld.
Notes
There’s nothing quite like a skillet full of potatoes spangled with butter and herbs to warm you up on a chilly evening. This Irish-inspired potato skillet delivers crisp edges, creamy centers, and a bright herbal finish in under 40 minutes, perfect for sharing on weeknights.
