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 400º 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!
