Molly loves to serve potatoes with her brisket, it’s a perfect pairing. These are super crispy, of course salty, and leveled up with loads of lemon, fresh dill and scallions.

Ingredients

Potatoes:

Garnish:

Directions

Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer
  1. Add enough chicken fat/schmaltz (or a combination of chicken fat and neutral oil) to a large, high-sided skillet to fill halfway. Heat over medium until the temperature reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring and flipping occasionally with a slotted spoon, until the cut-side of the potatoes are a deep, crispy brown, 13 to 15 minutes. (If the potatoes brown too quickly, reduce the heat). Remove the crispy potatoes into a bowl.
  2. Turn off the heat and add the shallots into the hot oil, frying in the residual heat until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the shallots into the bowl with the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  3. Transfer the potatoes and shallots to a shallow serving bowl. Sprinkle with flaky salt, lemon zest, scallions and dill. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
