- Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely.
- Once cool, quarter the potatoes.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter or clarified butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the cold potato quarters to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring gently and frequently, until the potatoes are heated through and coated in the butter (about 5-7 minutes). Do not brown.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded basil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
