Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. If the potatoes are very large, cut them into quarters.
Place the potatoes flat-side down in a large, nonstick skillet in a single layer. Add the unsalted butter and olive oil to the skillet.
Pour the water into the skillet and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and set the heat to medium-high. Let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes or until the water has mostly evaporated. This will steam the potatoes, making them tender inside.
Remove the lid once the water has evaporated. Reduce the heat to medium, and let the potatoes cook uncovered for an additional 8–10 minutes. This will allow the butter and oil to crisp and brown the bottom of the potatoes.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender inside and golden brown on the flat sides.
Carefully transfer the potatoes to a serving plate, crispy side up. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grilled fish, or vegetables.
