Potatoes With Saffron

This is  a little different….everyone will want to know just what you did….just smile….and keep them guessing!

 

  • pinch of real saffron threads (about 14-15)
  • 1  1/4 cups of water
  • 6 potatoes
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper

Crumble the threads into the water. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Rinse really well with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat the butter in a large skillet and when the foam subsides, place the potato slices in and cook for 2 minutes each side, turning carefully.  Add the saffron infused water and pour over the potatoes with the salt and pepper and briskly simmer uncovered for about 6 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for a further 15-17 minutes until tender and the water has evaporated.

Serve with lamb or beef, vegetable and salad. Wow! You have exotic tasting potatoes and only YOU know the secret.

Yummy!

 

Sssshhh, secret bot trap!
