Using a melon baller, make small potato balls, 5 to 7 are needed per person. They can be made in advance and kept in cold water.

Place balls in a saucepan covering them completely in cold water, bring to a boil then remove from heat, drain and pat dry.

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the Parisian potato balls, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
