Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Clarified butter
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds for even cooking.
Step 2: Rinse the potato slices under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the clarified butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and become hot but not smoking.
Step 4: Carefully lay the potato slices in a single layer in the skillet. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 5: Sauté the potatoes for 4-5 minutes on one side, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Step 6: Sprinkle the potatoes with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as they cook, seasoning to taste.
Step 7: Once both sides are evenly golden and the potatoes are tender in the center when pierced with a fork, remove them from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess butter.
Step 8: If cooking in batches, repeat with the remaining potato slices, adding more clarified butter to the pan if needed.
Step 9: Serve the sautéed potatoes hot, optionally garnished with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Enjoy!
