Saffron Potatoes Recipe

Saffron Potatoes

From jo_jo_ba 16 years ago

An exotically flavourful side dish of potatoes from Spain, this costs a bit more than French Fries but it is through the roof for entertaining!

Crumble saffron into water and stir. Set aside.
Wash and cut potatoes horizontally into about 3/4" slices. Pat dry.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large high-sided skillet or pot.
Brown potatoes 4 minutes per side, keep as one layer in pan.
Add saffron water, salt and pepper and rapidly simmer 7 minutes.
Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender and water is mostly evaporated, about 15-20 minutes.

If you have a pestle and mortar, grind the saffron threads with the salt. This maximises the transfer of color and flavor. Trying it this evening.

Just crumble them into the water, they will steep into the liquid.

The Saffron I have looks like yellow threads in a jar. How would I incorporate that into this recipe?

Thanx,
Sunnee
