Step-by-Step Instructions
1

3
Crisp Potatoes & Sauté Leeks
Melt butter into skillet fat. **Add par-boiled potatoes and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes** until golden-crisp on bottom. Stir in sliced leeks, minced garlic, and fresh thyme, cooking 5 minutes more until leeks soften.

Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips
- Chef's Secret Par-Boiling Hack: Par-boiling potatoes in salted water guarantees fluffy centers and shatter-crisp cast-iron searing.
- Wash Leeks Thoroughly: Swish sliced leeks in cold water to remove hidden sand between layers.
- Undisturbed Sear Rule: Leave potatoes untouched in the skillet for 4 minutes to build a deep golden crust!
1. Let the Meat Rest Before Slicing: Transfer cooked meat to a cutting board for 5–10 minutes before carving. Resting allows tight muscle fibers to relax and redistribute savory juices evenly throughout the cut. 2. Protect Minced Garlic from Burning: Garlic cooks and turns fragrant in just 30 to 45 seconds. Add it toward the end of sautéing onions or aromatics so it perfumes the dish without acquiring a bitter edge. 3.
