Baby Red Potatoes

My Grandpa Arnie used to eat boiled Baby Red potatoes EVERY single night with his dinner. Boiled in water, smashed with a bit of butter and he was good to go. I don't think he even seasoned them. Good old Scandinavian dinner...meat, boiled potatoes and bread. My poor Grandma was a great cook and that is what the man wanted, EVERY night.

I was never much of a potato girl and definitely not a boiled potato girl until I tried this. A quick and easy boiled potato that you can prep ahead of time but doesn't taste like a boiled potato.

What you'll need..

Baby Red Potatoes
Olive Oil
Butter
Favorite Seasoning

Wash the potatoes and boil them in a pot of well salted water until fork tender. Cool or put in the fridge over night.

Slice the cooled potatoes into 1/4 or 1/6, you are going to want to use a knife with a serrated edge (bread knife) so the potato doesn't smush.

Put side down in a frying pan.

Turn the heat to a medium high.

Sprinkle potatoes with your favorite seasoning (I used salt, pepper and Thyme), drizzle with a couple tablespoons of Olive Oil and a few pats of butter. Cook for few minutes until they start to get golden and crispy. Flip with a pancake turner OR I call it a spatula and cook the other side for the same amount of time. Serve.

Here they are ready in the pan

And, the finished potato
