Cook the Potatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drain and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the potatoes, and saut\u00e9 until golden and lightly crispy.
