Learn how to cook Potatoes a la Burton, an easy & versatile approach to making any number of roasted potato dishes. Burton Potatoes are unique because we combine the normal two stage cooking process of boiling, chilling, and roasting, into one singular step. This leads to a more flavorful potato while streamlining the kitchen execution.

Before we get into how the potatoes are actually made, it's important to note that this technique requires a GOOD non-stick pan that isn't beaten up or scratched. And no, unfortunately, a cast iron pan will not work for this process.

While I will be providing the ingredient quantities used in this video below, I want you to look past these ingredients and to see this technique for what it is; a universal and customizable approach to cooking perfectly roasted potatoes, with a creamy interior, and golden brown & crispy exterior..

First, the potatoes are peeled (optional), cut into chunks, and placed in a non-stick pan with aromatics of choice. This can include onions, peppers, dried & fresh herbs, spices, etc.

The potatoes are covered with water, and an acid of choice is added. In this video I used the juice of half a lemon, but any vinegar or other acidic ingredient will work. This helps to brighten the overall flavor of the dish, but more importantly, it sets the pectin on the surface of the potatoes, which helps to hold them together during the simmering and roasting process.

🍴RECIPE🍴

* 4 Yukon Gold Potatoes
* 2 Shallots
* 3 Garlic Cloves
* 1/2 Lemon, juice only
* Pinch Dry Basil
* Pinch Dry Oregano
* Pinch Chili Flakes
* Pinch Salt

Place above ingredients in a 12", non-stick pan and cover with water. Bring pan to a simmer over high heat, and continue to simmer until all the liquid is reduced down into a glaze that coats the potatoes when tossed (the bottom of the pan itself should be mostly dry).

Transfer pan into a pre-heated, 425F oven, and roast until a medium golden brown, about 20 minutes. Top with shredded cheese (optional) and fresh herb of choice, and return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve immediately.
