RECIPE BY Cooking Light

The earthy sweetness of the saffron pairs well with steak or fish. This quick dish is also a welcome substitution for traditional roasted or boiled potatoes.

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Nothing special. My potatoes were bigger and even though I cut them up, this didn't cook in 20 minutes.

I loved this recipe and have made it a few times. I love saffron and I always am looking for different ways to use it besides paella. Easy and tasty side.

This has potential. I didn't care for the saffron/parsley flavor. Next time I'll use fresh rosemary or thyme along with the garlic. It also needed more salt and pepper. My cooking time was 30 minutes but I made a double batch.

Delicious. You can use larger potatoes too, just cut them into bite-sized pieces before cooking. Make sure to toss the potatoes with the sauce that forms in the pot, before serving.

These were good but not great. I think I prefer rosemary with red potatoes. Either way, I could take them or leave them. Probably would try another recipe before going out of my way to make this one again.

Loved this! I left the parsley out, since I am not a big fan. I loved the saffron and garlic combination. This will be our go to potato recipe for a while.

I loved this, easy way to do potatoes, the water evaporates leaving the olive oil and garlic flavor, definitely use the fresh parsley but I had no saffron and used fresh thyme. You could add whatever spice you like with potatoes, rosemary. I will absolutely make again whenever I have new potatoes around.
