STOVE-TOP "ROASTED" RED POTATOES



Stove-Top

This is a great and quick way to make red potatoes on the stove top and they still taste like they've been roasted in the oven for a long while. I had see on America's Test Kitchen how they make roasted potatoes, they microwave the potatoes first before the potatoes go in the oven, but then I thought to try them on the stove top. They turned out to be so good, tasted just like they had been on the oven, and took about half the time. You could also do these with golden or other small roasting potatotes.

I have never Candied Sweet Potatoes in the oven. My mother and mother in law always cooked them in a pan on the stove burner and they were FANTASTIC !! Not ever a bite left. I hope you enjoy cooking them this way. I think long ago when they cooked on wood burning stoves this was an easier way. Also, the oven was reserved to cook...

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For boiling, roasting, and frying, use firm, starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds. For mashed potatoes, use softer, more floury potatoes like Idaho or Bintje.
  • Wash potatoes thoroughly: Scrub potatoes under running water to remove dirt and bacteria.
  • Peel or not to peel: Peeling potatoes is optional. If you do peel them, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife.
  • Cut potatoes evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. For boiling and roasting, cut them into 1-inch cubes. For frying, cut them into thin slices or wedges.
  • Soak potatoes (for frying only): Soaking potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries or chips.
  • Season potatoes: Season potatoes with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices before cooking. You can also toss them with oil or butter for extra flavor.
