Notes
This recipe uses quite a few fresh sage leaves, which have a strong flavor. If your leaves are large or you’re new to cooking with sage, consider using fewer to avoid overpowering the dish.
The amount of potatoes can be adjusted based on how hearty you want the meal. The recipe works well for four people with 8 to 12 medium new potatoes.
If new potatoes aren’t available, feel free to substitute with firmer, waxy potatoes that hold their shape well during cooking.
The green beans make a great side, but you can swap them for other fresh vegetables depending on what you have on hand.
Using rosé wine adds a nice depth and subtle sweetness, but you can substitute with white wine or extra chicken broth if preferred.
