Buttery Roasted Baby Potatoes (Hugu-so Style)
Highway Rest Stop Style Roasted Baby Potatoes Recipe
Make delicious, golden-brown roasted baby potatoes just like the ones you find at highway rest stops! This recipe is simple, satisfying, and a crowd-pleaser, perfect for snacks, kids, or even as a side dish with drinks.
Ingredients- 17 small potatoes
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 15-20g butter
- Sugar (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully peel the small potatoes. Place the peeled potatoes in a pot and add just enough water to partially cover them. Be mindful not to add too much water, as it can wash away the potato starch.
Step 2
Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the water while boiling the potatoes. This will infuse a subtle savory flavor into the potatoes themselves, making them more delicious.
Step 3
Cover the pot and cook over medium heat. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 14-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. They are ready when a chopstick easily pierces them. Avoid overcooking, which can make them mushy.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water completely. Then, add 15-20g of butter to a heated pan over low heat. Let the butter melt slightly, then add the boiled potatoes to the pan.
Step 5
Keep the potatoes moving occasionally to prevent sticking, and roast them over medium-low heat until all sides are nicely browned and slightly crispy. This technique gives them a delightful texture contrast.
Step 6
It’s best to achieve a golden-brown color rather than just cooking them through; this enhances their flavor significantly. These roasted baby potatoes are most delicious served warm. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little sugar on top to add a sweet note, which children especially love. Enjoy your delicious treat!
