Equipment in The Video
- De Buyer Mineral B 14" Carbon Steel: debuyer-usa.com/?sca_ref=404835.2T2gLdk0je
- Wusthof Classic Ikon Utility Knife: amzn.to/424ooFV
- All-Clad Sauce Pans: amzn.to/4iFRFOj

Notes:
1. I like using a 14" frying pan because the entire recipe can be cooked in one batch. I used a carbon steel here, as I like the way it browns, but you could get great results also with a cast iron or even stainless steel (if you are careful with the temp).
2. For the sauce pan, I used an All-Clad 4-quart D3. They are not in stock on Amazon at the moment, but I linked to other All-Clad models.
3. Adding salt to the water AFTER it is hot/boiling is important so that the sale doesn't cause pits in the stainless steel.
Butter Fried Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
1 - 1.5 pounds small red potatoes
3/4 stick of butter
Salt, pepper, and seasoning to taste
Steps
Prepare the potatoes: was, clean, and slice them
Add them to a large sauce pan at least half full of cold water
Bring the pan to a boil
Add salt
Boil ten minutes (test potatoes, and remove when almost fully done)
Drain, let them steam, lay on paper towels to dry excess moisture
Bring a large frying pan up to medium-low to medium heat
Add 3/4 stick of butter (more if you want)
Let it bubble and sizzle, but make sure there is no smoking, else the pans is too hot
Add potatoes cut side down
Fry 7-8 minutes, until color and crunch that you like
Add salt, pepper, and seasonings to taste along the way
Flip the potatoes, continue cooking until test potato is done
Remove to a serving dish, add more salt and something green for garnish
Chow down!
Thank you for watching!
