A unique potato side dish that looks very festive and is sure to please your guests. Small potatoes are boiled in their skins, then gently pressed with your hands to crack them, and fried in garlicky olive oil until crispy and golden. Leftover jacket potatoes can also be reheated this way, creating a new dish. Drizzle the cooked potatoes with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice and zest, and fresh herbs, and serve with any meat, poultry, or fish dish.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Potato. Place the potatoes in an 8-quart (8-liter) saucepan with enough cold water to come 2 inches (5 cm) above the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and cook the potatoes until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them dry for 5 minutes. Gently press the potatoes with the palm of your hand to flatten them slightly.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic and discard. Add the potatoes in batches and cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 5-8 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the potatoes and cook, basting with oil if needed, until golden on the other side, another 5-8 minutes.
- Refueling. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently to coat completely. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and serve.
