- 4 clove garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes

Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add potatoes and cook 12–15 minutes until fork-tender.

Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear ribs 3 minutes per side without moving — surface should char golden brown.
