Pan-Steamed Yukon Gold Potatoes Finished with a Golden Crust

Pan steamed and finished with a golden crust, this is an incredibly easy way to prepare and enjoy the buttery taste and velvety texture of Yukon gold potatoes.

I developed this recipe as an accompaniment to a wonderful dish which I plan on posting soon.  In the meantime, I know you'll find these versatile and beloved potatoes a gratifying side for many entrees.

                                           So Delicious and Satisfying...
                                        This Could Easily Be My Lunch!

                                                  
As adapted from Rachael Ray's recipe for Yukon Gold Potatoes:  Jacques Pepin Style

Serves approx. 4

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lbs. medium-size Yukon gold potatoes, cleaned and quartered (do not peel)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 14 oz. can or 1 3/4 c. chicken broth or stock
  • 1 1/2 TB salted butter
  • Parsley or rosemary stem for garnish

Directions
  1. Place potato slices in a medium-size deep skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Pour the chicken broth or stock over the potatoes, add the butter, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium.
  3. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the potatoes until almost tender, about 5-8 minutes.
  4. Remove the lid and allow the broth or stock to evaporate, approximately 10-12 minutes more.
  5. Brown the potato quarters on all sides, about 5 additional minutes.  If needed, add more salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve on a platter or in a bowl and garnish with a parsley or rosemary stem. 
  7. Leftovers may be reheated in a 400ยบ oven in a shallow pan (lined with foil and sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray) for about 10 minutes, or until hot.
You'll truly enjoy these gratifying pan-steamed potatoes as a delectable and easy side to your meat and poultry dishes!

  2. Love the ease of prepstation with sacraficing the visual simplicit of the end product. Homestyle enough to accompany a burger, sliced cold & added to salads; Yet, with its understated elegance, it would be a welcomed and appropriate side to even a more formal holiday meal or an intimate dinner. I can't wait for my flight to land tomorrow as I've already planned an entire around these potatoes. One question: must it be Yukons? I have an affinity to fingerlings.
