BUTTERY RED POTATOES

As my grandparents have always called them, "new" potatoes. Sliced red potatoes boiled and then covered in butter sauce. Simple and quick.

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.

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:

  • Selecting Potatoes: Choose small, firm, and blemish-free red potatoes for a consistent cooking time and tender texture.
  • Rinsing and Drying: Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to prevent excess moisture from diluting the flavor of the butter and seasonings.
  • Seasoning: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic flavor profile that complements the natural sweetness of the potatoes. You can also experiment with other herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, or chili powder to create different flavor variations.
  • Melting Butter: Use high-quality butter for a rich and decadent flavor. Clarified butter or ghee can also be used to prevent the butter from burning at high temperatures.
  • Cooking Time and Temperature: Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F) for about 25-30 minutes or until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
  • Garnishing: Before serving, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley or chives over the potatoes for an extra pop of color and freshness.
