Patatas asadas con salvia frita y mantequilla tostada

Ingredientes

• 2 lbs. potatoes ((approximately), washed, cubed)
• 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 3-4 cloves garlic (, crushed or minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder))
• salt ( , to taste)
• 7-8 fresh sage leaves (, divided (mince 3 leaves worth))
• 2-3 Tablespoons butter

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400ºF/205°C.

2. 2

   In large bowl, toss potatoes, about 3 sage leaves (minced), enough olive oil to coat potatoes, garlic or garlic powder, and salt to taste.

3. 3

   Place potatoes on sheet pan and roast in oven for about 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn potatoes at least once during the roasting period.

4. 4

   While the potatoes roast; in sauté pan, gently melt butter over medium heat. Don't melt the butter too quick, or it will burn.

5. 5

   Once butter melts and starts to bubble, add the rest of the sage leaves. Fry sage leaves on both sides, until crispy and until the butter starts to brown. Keep an eye on the butter as you fry the sage & the butter browns, it can change quickly. Take butter off heat when it is golden brown (should be a rich caramel color).

6. 6

   Toss potatoes with the brown butter and fried sage leaves. Taste for seasoning & add more salt if needed. Serve warm.
