- 1 lb russet (baking) potatoes (about 2)
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
- Combine potatoes with water, oil, garlic, and salt in a 10-inch nonstick skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover skillet and briskly simmer, shaking skillet occasionally, until potatoes are tender and most of water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes.
