If so, for the second batch, return the heat to high and add more oil or butter if necessary. Ingredients 2 pounds new potatoes, such as Norland, scrubbed Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 3 cups garlic scapes, roughly chopped 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed 2 tablespoons salted butter, plus more if needed Directions Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water. Add enough salt so that the water tastes like the ocean, about 2 tablespoons. Cover, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add garlic scapes. Let sit 10 minutes; the potatoes should be tender when pierced with a knife. Drain, and separate potatoes from scapes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add potatoes, in batches if necessary, cut sides down, and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, and add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook until potatoes are golden and crisp, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic scapes and 1 tablespoon butter to pan; raise heat to make potatoes extra crisp. Season with salt and pepper. Print
