Instructions:
- Start by placing the scrubbed and cut red potatoes into a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are fully submerged. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
- Once the potatoes are tender, pour them into a colander to drain the water. Allow them to sit in the colander for a few minutes to let the steam escape. This helps to remove excess moisture, which is crucial for achieving that perfect buttery texture.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the drained potatoes to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to get a little crispy on the edges.
- Add the 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Let it melt and coat the potatoes evenly. Stir gently to ensure all the potatoes are well covered in the buttery goodness.
- Finally, taste the potatoes and season with additional salt and pepper as desired. Once they are perfectly seasoned, transfer the buttered potatoes to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious flavors!
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic while sautéing the potatoes.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for a twist.
- These potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated for convenience.
