Salad - Potatoes with Lemon and Sweet Garlic Cream by Luana P. - Recipia

To prepare a delicious garlic cream, start by peeling the garlic, then crush it with the blade of a knife or use a garlic press to obtain a fine paste. In a pot, melt the butter together with the honey, adding the juice and the two halves of the lemon that you had previously squeezed. It is important to let this mixture simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic melts and the flavors combine harmoniously. Once the garlic has softened, remove from heat and take out the lemon peel. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the mixture well until the garlic is completely broken down, resulting in a homogeneous composition, like a paste. Let the sauce cool slightly, then add the cream, stirring until well incorporated. This sauce will add a refined taste and a creamy texture to the dish. To prepare the lemon potatoes, start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into large cubes that will retain flavor and cook evenly. Mix these potatoes with a lemon cut into round slices (with the peel), adding bay leaves, salt, and pepper to taste. This combination will give a fresh taste and a pleasant acidity to the dish. Pour the potato mixture into a buttered ovenproof dish, and previously drizzle the honey evenly on the bottom of the dish. Fill with water so that it covers the potatoes, and drizzle with a little oil to prevent sticking. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, which you will poke in several places to allow steam to escape, and place in the preheated oven at low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are nearly cooked. After this time, remove the foil and let the potatoes stay in the oven for another 10 minutes, until they become golden and the water almost evaporates completely, but without drying out completely. This step will contribute to a crispy texture on top, contrasting with the soft inside. Serve the potatoes while they are warm, on a preheated platter, along with the lemon slices, which will give them an attractive appearance and a refreshing taste. Generously drizzle with the sweet garlic cream, which will enrich the dish with flavor and transform this simple recipe into a delicacy that you will enjoy. This combination of potatoes and garlic sauce is perfect to accompany grilled meat or fresh salads, adding an extra flavor and variety to the meal.
