SIMPLE BRAISED POTATOES
One doesn't usually think of braising as a technique for cooking potatoes, but one should. It's so easy, and yields the same comfort quotient of the mashed sort without all of the peeling, boiling and mashing. Onion, garlic and your choice of thyme or rosemary give them a little oomph. As with all potato dishes, don't forget to season well with salt.

Steps:
- Scrub the potatoes, then cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
- Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a deep skillet or broad pot over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, onions, garlic, a sprig of thyme or rosemary, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until potatoes begin to turn golden, 10 minutes.
- Add good stock to barely cover the potatoes (about 2 cups). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and liquid is reduced, about 30 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve garnished with thyme or rosemary.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out as crispy as I hoped. They were still good, but not great.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with roasted chicken and green beans and it was a delicious meal.

[email protected]These potatoes are the BOMB! I've made them several times and they're always a hit. The key is to not crowd the potatoes in the pot, otherwise they won't brown properly. I also like to add a few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
