How to make it
- Remove the sage leaves from the stems and discard the stems while reserving the cleaned leaves.
- Cook the potatoes until tender in salted boiling water.
- When cooked, drain and halve lengthwise.
- While still warm, press a sage leaf onto the cut surface of the potato.
- The moist starchy surface should effectively "glue" the leaf in place.
- Heat a large sauté pan over moderate heat and when hot, add the oil.
- When the oil ripples add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook until heated through and crusty and golden on the cut surface.
- Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on absorbent towels. Season the potatoes with good quality salt and serve while still warm as a simple appetizer or a side dish to complement any sandwich.
