Happy 4th of July!  I wanted to do a quick post today because I figured that if your like me, it is a day spent around food, friends, and great weather  (I am blessed to be in Chicago right now and about to head to the beach!)

I know I have made mention of my weakness for potatoes.  I don’t know why, but I really love simply cooked potatoes.  Give me a baked potato with a little butter and salt- I’m good to go.

This potatoes are a slight step above that (but still just as simple.)  I love pan frying red potatoes with a little parmesan and garlic.  I could honestly make a meal off these potatoes (I know most normal people would love this as a side though…)

    yum, these look delicious!

    are those all of the ingredients?
    they look delish… but i think i see chives on those potatoes (oregano never looks that green to me once i’ve cooked it). how long does it take to make the potatoes tender? 10 minutes doesn’t seem long enough. should i parboil the potatoes first?
    looks great, though!

      Good eye- I tend to put chives on everything and then forget to put them in the ingredients. As for the time, I used some small red potatoes- for larger ones it could take up to 20 minutes. Thanks for the questions!

    That is such a simple yet beautiful potato dish. Love the picture. 10 minutes of panfrying time is all it needs? I always need longer to cook my potatoes, which make all the other dish go cold waiting for the potatoes.

      Thanks- like I commented before, I used some really small potatoes, cut fairly thin. The key for quick cooking for me was making sure the potatoes were pretty much in a single layer in the pan the whole time. If you use larger potatoes/more potatoes, the cooking time will go up (but hopefully not too much!)

    Yum. Tonight, I put the ingredients in foil packets and my husband cooked them on the grill. Delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
