Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fingerling potatoes scrubbed and halved lengthwise
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • teaspoons kosher or fine sea salt divided
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces, divided
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Instructions

  • Combine the potatoes, lemon juice, teaspoons salt, and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large high-sided skillet or a Dutch oven (the bigger the skillet the better – 12 inches is ideal). Add enough cold water to the skillet to just cover the potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook just until the potatoes are fork-tender, 10-15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and transfer to a bowl. Season the potatoes with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, the pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over medium heat. When melted, add half of the potatoes, skin side down, and cook until they begin to crisp and brown, 5-10 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, transfer the potatoes to a plate. Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining half of the potatoes.
  • Once the second half has started to brown and crisp up, return the first batch back to the skillet. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, fresh basil, and lemon zest until the potatoes are well coated. Serve warm.
