Ingredients
1½ pounds fingerling potatoes, washed and halved lengthwise
1 cup olive oil (or enough to coat the potatoes in the bag)
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat the Wolf Convection Steam Oven on Sous Vide mode at 190°F with a perforated pan on rack 2.
Prepare the Bag
Place the potatoes in a vacuum-seal bag or a heavy-duty freezer-safe Ziploc bag.
Add the olive oil, garlic, herbs, lemon zest, Kosher salt, and black pepper.
Seal using either the water displacement method or a vacuum sealer.
Cook the Potatoes
Place the sealed bag on the perforated pan in the steam oven.
Cook for 90 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Finish
For a soft, buttery texture, serve directly from the bag.
For crisp edges, remove the potatoes from the bag, drain excess oil, and sear cut-side down in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes.
