New Potatoes with Browned Butter ♥
A classic potato recipe, so easy and yet so indulgent. It calls for new potatoes -- real out-of-the-groun potatoes, not just the ones called new in the grocery store -- drizzled in butter that's been browned to the point of nuttiness. Just don't burn the butter! ~recipe & photo updated 2011~ ~ more recently updated recipes ~ 2006: If memory serves, my mother made potatoes in exactly three ways. Mashed. (Plus leftover mashed fried in patties.) Boiled. (Plus leftover boiled, fried in bacon grease with onion.) And new potatoes tossed in browned butter. So when my walking-distance farmers market returned with oh-so-tiny new potatoes (imported from who-knows-where since it's at least a couple of months before local potatoes will emerge) I couldn't wait to try this simple but luxuriant dish, served alongside the delicious Roasted Salmon & Asparagus .
