Saute'd Potatoes

This is such a tasty and simple way to prepare potatoes for dinner. Because of the simplicity in flavor, this dish compliments meat, fish, pork or chicken. I've offered some seasoning suggestions, but be creative so the potatoes compliment the flavors in the main dish you are serving at any given time. Blessings...

Recipe:

4 medium-sized red or gold potatoes
1 tbsp. each butter and olive oil for sauteing, use more if needed
1/2 tsp. seasoning blend of choice such as Italian, Cajun, barbecue or southwest. Also, seasoning with salt, pepper and garlic powder is wonderful.

1. Cook potatoes until tender in boiling salted water; drain.
2. Melt butter in skillet over medium-low heat; add olive oil. Stir in potatoes; sprinkle with half the seasoning and saute' until potatoes are golden brown. Stir potatoes and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Continue sauteing until potatoes are all a lovely golden brown color adding more olive oil if skillet gets too dry. You want the potatoes moist, not dried out from over frying.

Yield: 4 servings
