Categories     Potato

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 -10 small red potatoes (amount varies according to your preference or the number of people who will be eating)
2 tablespoons butter (again, amount varies) or 2 tablespoons margarine (again, amount varies)
chives (enough to sprinkle on top of potatoes)
salt and pepper
6 cups water (enough to cover potatoes and allow to boil)

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil as you slice potatoes thick or thin, leaving the skin on. (I keep my slices "potato chip shaped" and not too thin!).
  • Boil potatoes until tender (when a fork can be inserted with ease), about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain in colander.
  • Place potatoes in a big bowl and add plenty of butter/margarine. (I use at least 2-3 tablespoons maybe more, depending on number of potatoes used and whatever our mood happens to be!).
  • Then sprinkle chives on top of potatoes to taste and for a little more color.
  • *Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • *Can add some bacon bits and shredded cheese on top or mixed if you like. I haven't ever tried that, but sounds like it might be good.

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large sweet onion (I use yellow or vidalia)
3 -4 tablespoons butter
6 -8 medium red potatoes
kosher salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Melt butter in large skillet.
  • Chop onion, and add to melted butter; saute until caramelized (There may still be butter pooled at the bottom of the pan- that's okay!).
  • Meanwhile, chop potatoes into thirds; cook in boiling water until just tender.
  • Drain cooked potatoes and place in greased 13x9 casserole.
  • Top evenly with caramelized onions and butter.
  • Sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
  • Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, red potatoes, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the potatoes from burning.
  • Preheat the skillet: Before adding the potatoes, make sure the skillet is hot over medium-high heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the skillet and steaming the potatoes instead of frying them.
  • Season the potatoes: Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the potatoes immediately, while they are hot and crispy.
