Ingredients

3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves

Directions

Place the potatoes in a deep skillet and add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover potatoes halfway with chicken stock, about 3 cups, add the butter and cover skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes in the stock until almost tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending upon the size of the potatoes. Remove the lid and allow the stock to evaporate, about another 5 minutes. Once the stock has evaporated pop each potato using a ladle or large spoon, creating a small crack in each, but do not smash. Allow the potatoes to brown on each side, another 5 minutes, and re-season with salt and pepper, if necessary or desired. Remove the browned potatoes from the skillet and place onto a serving platter, garnished with the parsley.

New Holiday Family Favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tried these potatoes when extended family visited last Christmas. My kids were angry there weren't any leftovers with other... family members eating. Easy, simple, near perfect preperations. Trying again this evening, with a different potato.Read more

My family loved these!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were super easy to make... I have read the reviews on FN many times and always wonder about those of you who don't... follow the recipe to a "t" -- especially the first time you make something. Oh, but I was "one of those" last night, and I had fabulous results! Granted, I did not deviate very much, but here's what I did do. Instead of the chicken broth, I used vegetable broth. We eat mostly vegetarian at our house, hence, no chicken broth. I was making my yukon gold baby potatoes in a stock pot and did not get to the point where all the broth was evaporating, so I transfered some of the broth and potatoes to my cast iron skillet and browned them there... (oh, fabulous, yum) and continued the recipe as Rachel suggested. Then, my darling husband came in and saw the remaining broth... "Ooooh; can you make gravy?" His eyes were practically lit up, so, of course, I had to do it for him. After the potatoes were browned and sprinkled with parsley, I transferred the remaining broth to the cast iron skillet. Separately, I blended 2 T cornstarch into 1/4 c cold water and mixed thoroughly. Then, I slowly whisked the cornstarch mix into the hot broth until desired thickness of gravy. My family loved this, as my children had never really had "gravy," they thought it was amazing! My husband, the die-hard meat eater of our family, thought the gravy was beef based -- he loved it and wanted all of you to know about it! I do have potato lovers at my family, and I will definitely make this dish again... especially with the low-fat, heart healthy gravy! (The only fat was from the few tablespoons of butter!)Read more

Easy and delicious. Enjoyed by family and guests. I use the yukon gold and make them in a cast iron skillet.. Great side... with grilled meats. Kudoes to Jacques Pepin for creating such an amazing dish and to Rachel Ray for spotlighting it on 30-Minute-Meals.Read more
