Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 10-12 baby potatoes or small potatoes
- Fresh thyme sprigs, to taste
- 5-6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- Generous amount of black pepper (about 50 twists)
- Olive oil, enough to cover the potatoes (about 2 cups)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon truffle sauce (or paste)
- 1 scallion
Recipe 🍳
- Pierce the cleaned potatoes with a fork 7-8 times in various spots to ensure the oil's flavor penetrates deeply into the potatoes.
- In a bowl, combine the potatoes with thyme sprigs, garlic cloves smashed with the side of a knife, half a tablespoon of salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes, herbs, and garlic to an oven-safe dish. Pour in enough olive oil to completely submerge the potatoes, ensuring none are exposed.
- Place in a preheated oven and bake until the potatoes are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the truffle mayo sauce by mixing 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of truffle sauce and finely chopped scallions.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, take out the desired amount and place them on a plate. Using gloved hands or a tool, gently press down on the potatoes to roughly mash them.
- Serve the mashed potatoes with a generous dollop of the prepared truffle mayonnaise sauce on the side.
- Pierce potatoes with a fork, then toss with salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme.
- Submerge potatoes completely in olive oil and slowly bake in the oven.
- Mix mayonnaise, truffle sauce, and chopped scallions to make the sauce.
- Lightly mash the cooked potatoes and serve with truffle mayo sauce on the side.
Cooking tips 💡
- The potatoes must be completely submerged in oil; otherwise, they will roast instead of confit. Ensure no part of the potato is exposed above the oil.
- Cooking time varies depending on potato size. Before removing from the oven, always check for tenderness by piercing the center with a fork.
- Roughly mashing the potatoes rather than making them completely smooth allows the truffle sauce to seep into the cracks, resulting in a better texture.
