Method

Halve the potatoes; boil for 10-12 minutes until just tender. Drain and steam dry. Wrap each escalope in prosciutto, top with a sage leaf and secure with a cocktail stick.
Heat a large pan with the oil. Bash the garlic but leave whole, then add. When the oil shimmers, add the potatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden. Don’t let the garlic get too brown.
Drain on kitchen paper and cover with foil.

Wipe the pan, then add a knob of butter with a splash of oil. When it sizzles, add the escalopes, sage-side down, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn, then cook for 2 minutes more. Rest on a warm plate.
Pour in the marsala, add the rest of the butter, then bubble until syrupy.
Put the saltimbocca on plates, drizzle the sauce over and add lemon juice. Serve with the potatoes and rocket.
