Browned Butter Potatoes

Browned butter potatoes are cooked potatoes with skins left on that are simmered in a beef broth. They are a simple potato recipe that tastes great with quiche or ham.

The beef flavor complements the potatoes and they are then coated with browned butter and chopped fresh parsley.

Serve this potato side dish for breakfast or brunch. This is one of my favorite recipes.

A nice complement to these potatoes would be fresh fruit recipes like Colby Cheese Fruit Salad or Melon and Grape Salad.

This breakfast recipe is from my mom's recipe box collection.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredient List:

2 pounds of potatoes (small sized)
3 cups of water
1-14 ounce can prepared beef broth
1/4 cup of butter
1 Tablespoon of parsley (fresh)
3/4 teaspoon of salt

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Cut the potatoes into small wedges, leaving the potato skins on.

Step 2: Place the potatoes, water and beef broth in a large saucepan or Dutch oven.

Step 3: Cover and cook over a medium to high heat until the potato and broth mixture comes to a boil.

Step 4: Reduce the cooking heat to simmer. Cover and cook until potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander.

Step 5: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 6: Cook until the butter starts foaming and turns a delicate gold color. This will happen rather quickly, so make sure to continually stir the butter during this time in order to prevent burning.

Step 7: Stir in the fresh parsley and salt.

Step 8: Pour over the cooked potatoes and stir in the butter to coat evenly.

Serves 6.
