- 4 small Yukon Gold potatoes (about 12 ounces total), unpeeled
- 1/2 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
- 1/8 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- Cook unpeeled potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until partially cooked, about 10 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Slice potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
- Bring broth and saffron to simmer in large skillet over medium heat. Add butter. Reduce heat to low; add potatoes and simmer uncovered until tender and liquid is absorbed, turning potatoes once, 50 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
