(Serves 2-4.)

Ingredients:

4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
4 Tbsp butter, clarified (directions below)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 piece fresh horseradish, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tsp)
2 Tbsp Greek yogurt
salt and pepper to taste
freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:

• Put the potatoes, whole, into a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, turn heat down and cook at a gentle boil until knife tender (not fork tender) for about 7 to 9 minutes.
• Remove potatoes from pot and let cool, then cut into thin slices.
• While potatoes cool, put butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt and let bubble and foam up.  Remove from heat and skim off the white foam from the top and discard. Pour the clear butter that's left into a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• When butter sizzles, add the sliced potatoes.
• Season potatoes with salt and pepper and fry potatoes until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes, flipping as needed;  Add the garlic 1 minute before the potatoes are done, and gently toss to combine and heat.
• Remove the skillet from heat when the potatoes are ready, then add the horseradish and the yogurt.  Turn gently with a spatula to combine, but don't break up the potatoes.
• Season again if needed with salt and pepper, then top with chopped parsley. 
• Serve hot as a side dish, or a unique breakfast idea.
