French Style Brown Butter New Potatoes Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Add potato to salted water in a large saucepan. Cook, covered, 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. (Do NOT overcook the potatoes- they will be mushy!).
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic and salt (optional). Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until garlic is tender.
• Add parsley, pepper, and dill (optional). Pour over potatoes, tossing gently to coat.
• Enjoy!

FRENCH-STYLE BROWN BUTTER NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• In a medium (3-quart) saucepan or saucier, melt butter over medium heat. Add potatoes, a healthy pinch of salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, swirling saucepan and stirring frequently with a heat-resistant spatula while butter hisses and pops. Make sure potatoes remain in a single, even layer in the saucepan while cooking. Continue cooking and stirring until butter begins to foam rapidly and turns golden yellow, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low; add herbs and garlic (if using). Continue stirring and turning potatoes occasionally to promote even browning. At this point, the butter should be golden brown. Regulate heat so butter simmers at a very gentle bubble and foams up when you stir it. (Depending on the strength of your burner, you may need to reduce heat from medium-low to low.) Continue cooking until potatoes are completely tender (poke a potato with a sharp paring knife or cake tester to test for doneness) and deep golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let potatoes rest for 5 minutes in the saucepan.
• Toss potatoes to coat them in brown butter. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a serving bowl; reserve brown butter. Drizzle as much brown butter as you like over the potatoes and sprinkle with chives (if you like) and sea salt to taste. Serve immediately with crème fraîche for dipping.

BROWN BUTTER NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add potatoes and bay leaves, bring back to the boil and simmer for 10-12 mins until just tender.
• Drain the potatoes and leave to steam in a colander. Return the pan to the heat, add butter and melt gently until it turns a nutty brown colour. Remove from the heat, stir through the potatoes (don't worry if a few break up) and bay leaves, and leave to absorb for a few mins.
• Meanwhile, heat a roasting tin in the oven, tip the potatoes in and season well. Roast for 30-35 mins until golden and crisp, turning and basting halfway through. Transfer to a dish and pour over any buttery juices from the tin.

BUTTER BROWN POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut in half lengthwise (you only need enough that will fit in the bottom of your baking dish- so start with four and see if you need to peel more to fill the dish).
• Place butter/margarine in a 9x13 baking dish and place in a preheated 350 F degree oven, and let it melt. Remove from oven and add potatoes in coating thoroughly (you may have to use a basting brush for this). Arrange potatoes cut side down, and season with the salt and pepper.
• Return dish to oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour (depending on thickness of potatoes), or until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. For best results baste the potatoes with the melted butter in the bottom of the dish halfway through the cooking time.
• Note: this is a really easy side dish if you are cooking other items in the oven and can easily be made when you have to bake something between 325 and 375- just adjust the cooking time.
