Betty's Oven-Browned New Potatoes

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Oven-Browned New Potatoes. I designed this recipe for the holidays, as an alternative to the conventional mashed potatoes. These potatoes are easy to make, and timing is not crucial for them when you are putting together a large dinner!

Ingredients:

new potatoes, fairly equally sized and peeled (Use as many as you need for your meal. I used 12 Baby Reds.)
salt, to taste
melted butter, enough to coat the potatoes
freshly ground black pepper
fine, dry breadcrumbs (enough to coat the potatoes)

In a large pot, place the peeled new potatoes. Cover with water, add desired amount of salt, and bring to a boil. (I used 1 teaspoon salt for 12 potatoes.) Cook, until done, about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. (The potatoes should be fork-tender, not falling apart.) Remove from heat and drain. In a baking dish (appropriately sized), place your drained potatoes. Drizzle melted butter over the potatoes and turn to coat. (I used 3 tablespoons melted butter for 12 potatoes.) Grind some fresh black peppercorns over the top of the buttered potatoes. Place fine, dry breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. (I used 1/2 cup breadcrumbs for 12 potatoes.) Dip the buttered potatoes, one at a time, into the breadcrumbs, covering completely. You may go back and dip the coated potatoes in melted butter again and coat a second time with breadcrumbs. (This is not necessary, but makes a crisper, crunchier outside for the potatoes.) Place each coated potato back in your baking dish with the melted butter. When you have finished coating all of the potatoes, you may pour off any excess butter from the baking dish, which is now filled with breadcrumb-coated potatoes. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the outsides of the potatoes are crisp and golden. Remove from oven, and serve immediately! These are great as an accompaniment to any meal. They are already salted, peppered, and buttered, and the crunchy outside is attractive and tasty! I hope you enjoy this different way to serve potatoes with your meal! --Betty 

Betty, you and Rick are a very lovely and handsome couple! I am very much enjoying watching your videos! I have roasted potatoes in the oven before, but I have never tried them with the coating. I will have to give it a try now. I noticed you prepared your potatoes in a glass baking dish. Do you have any tips for easily removing the browned butter off a glass dish? It seems high fat items, like butter, will even bake into the glass! Thank you for all your wonderful videos! Debra

@tngirl726 Hi Debra,

Thanks for your lovely comment!  I hope you enjoy the coated potatoes. No, I don't have any quick tricks for cleaning burned on spatters from glass dishes. I just do a lot of scrubbing. Honestly, I usually line baking dishes with aluminum foil to prevent the spattering in the first place.

What are New Potatoes?

[bettyskitchen]

@rosalietopfan09 New potatoes are not a separate variety of potato, but younger versions of other varieties. The skin of new potatoes is generally thinner and flakier than the skin found on older potatoes. It is not necessary to peel new potatoes.

@tngirl726 if you put some oil in the pan as well when your frying with butter it stops the butter from burning. it might help with this too but iv never tried it.

@mmikeish Rosemary works great, I add it half way through cooking, so it doesn't burn. Also a good idea to let the potato rest for a few mins to get rid of excess moisture, and add them to already hot oil (heated in oven).

Dear betty, it's a very nice recipe. I use a similiar one - after boiling the patatoes, I sort of rumble/shake them in the pot so when they are in the oven they form a sort of a crust of their own.Also what what do you think about adding majoram/basil to them before baking? My best regards!

Hi Betty! Remember I was telling you about the "Baby Red Potatoes"? I'm SO glad you found them in your store! They are the cutest little potatoes huh? I remember you said you would make something with them if you found them. This is great that you found them & put them on your Thanksgiving Table. I'm so glad I told you about them. I cook with with all the time. I have even bought them also by the pound. I like to pick out the cherry tomatoe sized ones b/c they are fun. I'm glad you found them=)

Cool.

I can see that I'm going to be getting some good ideas from you as I get to watch from all your videos. I'll have to pace myself though! ;D
