Ingredients:

  • pinch of saffron threads (about 15)
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 lb medium boiling potatoes (about 7)
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

  1. Crumble saffron threads into water.
  2. Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Rinse potatoes well and pat dry between paper towels.
  3. Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown potatoes in 1 layer, turning over carefully, about 4 minutes per side. Add saffron-infused water, salt, and pepper and briskly simmer, uncovered, over moderate heat 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and simmer until potatoes are tender and water is evaporated, about 15 to 20 minutes more.
