Submitted by iris5555

"From Cooking Light Magazine. Clarifying the butter is simple and does not take long. The clarified butter adds even more color to the yukon golds."

• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1⁄4 cup clarified butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

I can't believe these have never been review. They are fantastic. Didn't take hardly any time at all to cook either. Wonderful flavour, crispy on the outside and the inside was fluffy. I'll certainly be making these again real soon. Thanks for a delightful recipe. Made for "Let's PARTY" Tag 2009

These potatoes are so deliciously crispy and delightful. I made just a half recipe, with yukons that I had harvested from my garden today. Thanks also for the directions for the clarified butter as I had no idea it was so easy to prepare! I'll definitely be making these again and soon. Thanks Iris!
