French style potatoes sautéed in butter

This is a recipe from my husband’s aunt for French style whole potatoes sautéed in butter until golden and crispy on the outside. A lot of Ecuadorian dishes have potatoes as a side dish: sometimes the potatoes are boiled, fried, mashed, in patties, you name it.

One of my favorite potato sides is when the potatoes are roasted and cooked alongside a meat dish. However this can’t always be done, especially when you aren’t cooking a meat dish or the dish doesn’t allow the potatoes to be cooked with it. I do like simple boiled potatoes, but I always feel like they’re missing something, even if they’re served with a sauce.

French style potatoes pan fried in butter

Last summer we were visiting Nico’s aunt Eliane in Provence and she was making potatoes as a side for a wonderful meal she made (my mouth is watering). She boiled them first and then sautéed them with butter until they had a nice golden brown color, they were delicious and really showed the greatness of a simple potato.

So now whenever I have a dish that usually has plain boring boiled potatoes as a side, I sauté the potatoes in butter until they are browned. Leave it to the French to turn something basic into something delicious by simply adding butter. The way I see it this is a compromise, maybe not as healthy as plain boiled potatoes, but tasty enough without being completely fried (don’t get me started on homemade fried potatoes – I give into that weakness about every six months).
