Ingredients for Skillet Roasted New Potatoes
- 1.1 lbs new potatoes
- 1/4 cup water
- 1.76 oz butter
- 2 pinches salt
- to taste black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 sprig rosemary
- to taste thyme (fresh or dried)
Steps
For the potatoes: Wash them well under running water with their skins on, then scrub them well to remove any impurities.
How to choose potatoes: Choose small potatoes of roughly the same size; you can also use red-skinned ones, preferably organic.
Cook the potatoes: In a wide pan that can hold all the potatoes, arrange them without overlapping, and cover with 1/4 cup of water.
Cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes, then remove the lid.
Dry out the water: On high flame and without a lid, let the water dry, then add the cold butter from the fridge.
Sauté the potatoes: Sauté the potatoes on high flame for another 10 minutes, browning them on all sides.
DO NOT turn them with knives or forks to avoid puncturing them; just toss them in the pan so they turn by themselves.
Prepare the aromatic herbs and finish cooking: Meanwhile, chop the aromatic herbs, then season the potatoes with salt and pepper once cooking is finished.
Season off the heat with the aromatic herbs and serve.
