Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 russet potatoes, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high, add the water, stir, and cover the pan with a lid. Steam the potatoes until the water evaporates, about 3 or 4 more minutes. (Every 1 to 2 minutes, open the lid long enough to stir the potatoes so they don't stick.) Lower the heat to medium, and saute another 1 to 2 minutes until all traces of water are gone. Toss in the butter and stir to coat the potatoes. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven until the potatoes are crisp and browned to your liking, about 15 to 25 minutes depending on how dark you want them. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve.

PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES

We've seen plenty of potato trends over the past few years: Retro hasselback potatoes made a comeback, buttery "melting" potatoes took over Pinterest soon after, and now smashed potatoes are the spuds of the moment. The idea is to simmer small potatoes until tender, then toss them with olive oil, flatten them and crisp them in the oven. It's simple - and insanely delicious. There are more than 35,000 #smashedpotatoes photos on Instagram, and many Food Network stars are obsessed, too. Here's how to make them like a pro.

Steps:

  • Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Categories     Lunch, Side dish, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1kg waxy potato, such as Maris Peer or Desirée
6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
  • When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
  • If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
  • Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
  • Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
  • Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russets, when sautéed.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the potatoes plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the potatoes.
  • Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Sautéed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sautéed potatoes every time. Serve them hot and enjoy!
