- olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic
- 15 g of fresh sage
Time: 1 hour 30 minutes Servings: 10

- Peel the potatoes and put them in boiling salted water without cutting them open. Cook for 15 minutes, then drain in a colander and let dry for two minutes. Gently shake the colander a few times to rough up the edges of the potatoes - this will ensure a crispy exterior.
- Place the butter and one tablespoon of olive oil on the largest baking sheet. Add the potatoes and a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes with the oil and seasonings.
- Cover the potatoes and leave them in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Chop the garlic cloves and add them to the baking sheet. Bake the potatoes for an hour, or until they are crispy and golden.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently mash each potato to half size with a pestle. Drizzle the sage leaves with oil to give them even more crispiness.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with the sage and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Serve with your favorite sauce, fried meat, or vegetables.
