Best 5 Skillet Roasted Potatoes Recipes

LEMON AND PARSLEY SKILLET-ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, lemon juice, kosher salt, and 3 Tbsp. butter in a large straight-sided skillet or a Dutch oven; add cold water just to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are tender, 20-25 minutes. Increase heat and boil rapidly until pan is almost dry, 15-20 minutes more (there will still be a sheen of butterfat).
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer about half of potatoes to a plate and arrange potatoes remaining in skillet cut side down in a single layer (if your skillet is smaller, you may need to work in a few batches). Reduce heat to medium and cook potatoes undisturbed until water is evaporated and cut sides of potatoes are deeply browned, 5-10 minutes.
• Using a thin metal spatula, scrape skillet to cleanly release potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Return skillet to medium heat, add 1 Tbsp. butter, and repeat browning process with reserved potatoes. After scraping skillet to release potatoes, return first batch, along with parsley and remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, to skillet and toss until potatoes are well coated. Serve sprinkled with sea salt.
• Do ahead
• Potatoes can be boiled 4 hours ahead. Let cool in skillet, then cover and let sit at room temperature. Brown just before serving.

SKILLET ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare potatoes and wash well in cold water.
• Arrange in one layer in a large skillet so they are almost touching - they'll need room later when they are cracked open (nonstick pan works best).
• Add rosemary, broth, oil, butter and salt.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to medium, cover the pan, but leave the lid a lttle aside, and boil until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
• The liquid should still be about halfway up surrounding the potatoes; if not, add more broth or a little water until it does.
• Remove the pan from heat, press on each potato with a spoon or 1/4 cup measure just until it cracks open.
• Set the pan over medium-high heat and cook uncovered until the liquid has evaporated, let the potatoes sizzle until the bottoms have browned on one side, about 10 minutes.
• Gently turn the potatoes and brown the other side, another 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Sprinkle with chives and serve.
• Pass the fleur de sel so diners can sprinkle some on if they want!

SKILLET-ROASTED POTATOES WITH LEMON AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes well and cut them in half. If you are using fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise.
• Combine the cut potatoes, the lemon juice, the salt and one tablespoon of the butter in a 12" enameled cast iron skillet (or a similarly sized, deep, heavy bottom frying pan). Add enough water to just cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or, until the pan is almost dry and the potatoes are tender. Depending on the size of your potatoes the time for this step might vary.
• Arrange the potatoes in the skillet, cut side down, in a single layer. Add the second tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and cook the potatoes over medium heat, for about 5-10 minutes or so, or until the potatoes are well brown, making sure you do not disturb them at all!
• When the potatoes are well browned, add the last tablespoon of the butter along with the fresh parsley to the skillet and toss gently to coat the potatoes.
• Serve immediately on a warm plate with an extra sprinkle of flaky sea salt and some extra lemon on the side.
