Best Braised Red Potatoes With Lemon Recipes

SIMPLE BRAISED POTATOES

Simple Braised Potatoes image

One doesn't usually think of braising as a technique for cooking potatoes, but one should. It's so easy, and yields the same comfort quotient of the mashed sort without all of the peeling, boiling and mashing. Onion, garlic and your choice of thyme or rosemary give them a little oomph. As with all potato dishes, don't forget to season well with salt.

Ingredients

2 pounds potatoes (roughly 4 medium to large spuds)
3 tablespoons butter
1 diced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Salt and pepper
About 2 cups chicken, turkey or vegetable stock

Steps:

Scrub the potatoes, then cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a deep skillet or broad pot over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, onions, garlic, a sprig of thyme or rosemary, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until potatoes begin to turn golden, 10 minutes.

Butter, lemon juice, parsley and chives enhance this simple side dish. I usually prepare these potatoes when I'm having company. Since they cook in the slow cooker, there's plenty of room on the stove for other dishes. -Tara Branham, Austin, Texas
