Pin ItArticle EditDiscussOriginating in Spain, saffron potatoes is a spectacularly colored dish that will brighten up any meal. Their exotic flavor makes a nice change from the usual plain potatoes, but saffron is an expensive spice, so it's a dish to be enjoyed sparingly. So, the next time you really want to impress someone with dinner, try this recipe!

Edit Ingredients1/8 tsp saffron1 1/4 cups boiling water7 medium white potatoes1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp black pepper

Edit Steps

Making Saffron Water1Crumble the saffron into the boiling water. Set aside.

Preparing the Potatoes1Wash and cut potatoes into 3/4 inch (2cm) chunks. Pat dry with a paper towel.

2Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the skillet or frying pan. If you don't have a skillet or frying pan, a saucepan will do in a pinch.

3Add the potatoes. Sauté for about 4 minutes, or until they are browned all around.

Cooking the Saffron Potatoes1Add the saffron-infused water, salt and pepper. Simmer rapidly for 7 minutes.

2Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 15-20 minutes, or until the water is mostly evaporated, and the potatoes are tender.

3Serve. This dish makes a delicious side for any meat-based meal.

Edit TipsNever buy saffron in bulk. It will only keep for six months, and must be stored in a cool dry place. Saffron kept any longer will turn stale in flavor.
