Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly; slice them thinly and blot dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the potato slices in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and sauté, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg while they cook.
  5. In the last minute of cooking, toss in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and black olives until fragrant.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Note

Blotting the potatoes dry is crucial for achieving a crispy texture rather than steaming them.

Add the garlic at the end to prevent it from burning and turning bitter.

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
