How to Make Browned Franconia Potatoes

  1. Wash and scrub 1 pound of fingerling or baby red potatoes. Cut larger potatoes into halves or quarters if needed.
  2. Boil potatoes in a pot of salted water (about 1 teaspoon salt) until just tender but still slightly firm to the touch. This should take about 10-15 minutes depending on the size and type of potato.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. In a small, oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is shimmering but not yet browned.
  5. Add the potatoes to the skillet. Cover and bake for 20 minutes, gently shaking or turning the skillet halfway through to ensure even browning.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Return the skillet to the oven, uncover, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are deeply golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
