Step-by-step Guide

Rissolled Potatoes

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick cubes about 3 or 4 centimeters thick. Round them off to form cylinders. To make them more appealing, you can trim the sharp edges with a knife to smooth them out.
  • Place the potato cubes in a cold pan, add a generous piece of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and a sprig of rosemary (although using rosemary needles is an option, it is easier to remove the whole sprig at the end).
  • Cover the potatoes with water up to about 3/4 of their height. Make sure the potatoes are not completely submerged.
  • Let the potatoes boil over medium heat until the water level reduces to half the height of the potatoes, about 10-15 minutes. Then, turn them over so they cook on the other side.
  • Continue cooking until all the water evaporates, about 10 more minutes, and the potatoes begin to brown with the residual butter.
  • Remove the potatoes from the pan and clean the pan using a paper towel to eliminate the residue.
  • Just before serving the dishes, place the pan back on the heat with a little more butter, about 20-30 grams, and finish browning the potatoes for 5 minutes until they are nicely golden.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • If you want crispier potatoes, parboil them first until tender, then drain and place them in a hot pan with butter to brown them well.
  • Ensure that the potatoes are completely dry before placing them in the pan so moisture doesn't interfere with the crispiness.
  • To intensify the aroma of rosemary, rub the sprig with your hands before adding it to the pan; this will release the essential oils.
