Ingredients for Brown Butter Potatoes

Method

Directions for Preparing Brown Butter Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the small potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they are large. Leave baby potatoes whole.

  2. 2

    Cook Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Brown the Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the browned butter. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Toss gently to coat the potatoes in the brown butter.

  5. 5

    Make Mustard Cream

    In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and Dijon mustard until smooth.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle the mustard cream over the brown butter potatoes and serve warm.
