Cooking notes

For the best texture, cook the potatoes until a knife slides into the centre easily before finishing the dish.

Garlic cooks quickly; keep the heat moderate to avoid burning it and turning it bitter.

Taste at the end and adjust salt and pepper after the sauce has reduced.

Good to know

Serve it with a simple side that complements the main ingredients, such as a salad, cooked vegetables, bread or rice where appropriate.
Most everyday potatoes will work. The final texture may vary slightly depending on whether you use a floury or waxy variety.
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and use them according to local food-safety guidance.
