Pan-Seared Potato Planks

Pan-Seared Potato Planks


  • Author: Bull Garlington
  • Total Time: 25 minutes or more

Description

These really capture the taste of steak by delivering a crunchy, deeply browned exterior seasoned with strong Italian spices, black pepper, and salt. Finishing them off with a baste of garlic, butter and thyme really evokes the memory of steak.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 packet of Louie’s Italian Beef Au Jus Seasoning (see notes)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Scrub the potatoes in plain water.
  2. Microwave the potatoes for eight minutes, or until inserting a fork meets with only slight resistance.
  3. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges.
  4. In a large bowl, combine a tablespoon of the oil with half the spice packet.
  5. Gently toss the potato wedges in the spiced oil until coated.
  6. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil into a frying pan over a medium high flame; when the oil is hot, lay the planks cut side down in the pan
  7. Fry the potatoes without moving them or turning until they start to brown around the edges; you need to let the potatoes brown deeply on one side, then turn and brown the other side. Add oil if needed.
  8. When the potatoes are well carmelized and golden brown, adjust seasoning, then serve.

Notes

Louie’s Italian Beef Au Jus Seasoning is not vegan, as it contains dried beef stock.
