Ingredients

1 pound fingerling potatoes

1 tablespoon coarse salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon, plus more to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 shallot, minced

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock

2 tablespoons dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

Cover potatoes with water in a pan. Add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and halve lengthwise.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, cut sides down, and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Stir in stock, wine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until liquid is reduced by a third, about 2 minutes.

Remove from heat. Add thyme and butter, and stir until butter has melted. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
