Butter roasted potatoes

I am sure this recipe changes from one home to another, I share my particular version which is the easiest I found around, basically because it only needs 3 ingredients. Yep, three. Potatoes, butter and salt. That's it. So it's perfect for those who literally don't have anything in the fridge and still want something tasty for a casual dinner. 

Preheat the oven at 200 ºC

 

Begin by cleaning and drying the potatoes you'll use. Do not forget drying them so that the potatoes don't spend useless time in the oven... and so that the butter doesn't mix with the water.

Cut them in half. Then, tear them in "semi slices", just like in the photo. This step will make easy the baking.

Melt some butter. In the microwave in the lowest w. for just a minute will be more than enough.

Paint the potatoes with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for a quarter. Then, paint again and bake for another quarter. They should be done by then.

Now let's dedicate a few word to this wonderful salt over here. It's Camargue Salt and it's delicious!! It's able to save a dish from blandness or, which is the same, disaster. Add a bit of this magic powder in a simple plain dish and you will be surprised by its work. Whatever it is, salmon, steak or potatoes, Camargue salt makes its effect. If you can't find it in your area, no worries, use sea salt instead.

You can paint again the potatoes if you're feeling it, I know you are because I was.

After this pause, sprinkle some salt, some pepper if you want... I didn't, I wasn't feeling in the mood for pepper in this. I just though that it would decrease the creaminess of the potatoes... just a thought.

Serve warm and enjoy!
