It’s May, which means it’s wild garlic season! These boat potatoes with wild garlic are one of my go-tos. It’s a simple dish, yet incredibly flavorful.
What truly makes it special is the wild garlic butter. It gives a lovely garlicky freshness that stands out from regular garlic. Meanwhile, the butter has a rich and creamy texture.
These potatoes go with so many dishes – whether a juicy steak, a delicate fish dish, or a green salad, they make for a perfect side.
The dish is super simple to adjust. Have plenty of wild garlic? Make an extra large batch of the butter and use it in other dishes. Short on time? I recommend oven-baked cod with a herb crust and pea puree on the side.
Variants & Tips
- Replace wild garlic with 2 tbsp fresh parsley and an extra clove of garlic for an herby version.
- For a year-round version, use regular garlic instead of wild garlic, but be cautious with the amount.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a fresh green salad with vinaigrette.
- Perfect for grilled dishes or a hearty rack of lamb with herb crust and roasted spring vegetables.
