Summer Sautéed Potatoes Recipes

SAUTEED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, and place them in cold water to inhibit discoloration. Remove, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
• Heat half the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Pat potatoes dry; add half to pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until potatoes are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add half the butter; as it melts, toss to coat potatoes.
• Transfer to a serving plate; keep in a warm place while you repeat with remaining oil, potatoes, and butter. Toss potatoes with chives. Serve immediately.

SUMMER SAUTéED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5-8 mins until starting to soften but not falling apart. Drain and leave to steam-dry in the colander for a few mins.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan. Scrunch up the bay leaves in your hands and add them to the pan along with the whole garlic cloves. Once the potatoes are dry, tip into the pan and season. Toss them in the pan and cook over a medium-high heat for 20-25 mins, turning often, using a fish slice so you don't break them up.
• When the potatoes are crisp and golden, grate the lemon zest straight over and cook for 1-2 mins more. Taste for seasoning, then scatter with parsley and serve.

SAUTéED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and place in a saucepan. Cover with water and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool to touch. Peel potatoes and cut into slices. There should be about 6 cups.
• Heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook potatoes, while tossing and shaking pan, about 10 minutes until golden and crusty on both sides. Add remaining tablespoon of butter. Add garlic and parsley.
• Toss and stir. Serve.

PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

PERFECT SAUTéED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
• When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
• If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
• Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
• Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
• Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold potatoes in one layer. When oil is quite hot, add potatoes. Cook over high heat, shaking skillet and stirring gently, until lightly browned. Turn potatoes with a spatula. Cook for a few minutes more until light brown.
• Drain excess fat from skillet and add onion. Cook a few minutes until onion is lightly browned. Add butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss and blend well. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
