Lessons Learned From a Lifetime of Cooking #3

Technique matters. Note the parboiling then rinsing of the potatoes.

Not all potatoes are the same. Note the specific variety used.

Garlic. But of course.

My mind drifts back to the time I spent in Madrid, sitting outdoors at a cafe enjoying the evening, a glass of Spanish wine and potatoes.

Lesson #3. You can always get better at whatever dish you think you know how to cook. Even if it’s simple fried potatoes.

This video has over one million views. The house smells wonderful now.

The next time I make these potatoes I’ll cut back on the amount of olive oil.

    1. After briefly parboiling the potatoes are given a cold rinse to stop the cooking process. This way they don’t get overcooked and mushy. The potatoes won’t get super crispy but in this recipe with the amount of oil and vegetables they will never get super crispy.
