YES! Sweet potatoes have a different starch level, so they won’t crisp up as nicely, but they will be absolutely delicious. Just cut them into 1 inch cubes and microwave/ boil for less time!
I keep coming back for this recipe, it is just so good! Tonight we did venison backstraps that my husband cut about 2.5 inches wide and an inch thick so I only did 2 minutes per side. I also threw sliced mushrooms in on top of the potatoes! Every time we feel like we’re at a fancy restaurant and not just in our living room watching Netflix and eating an adult dinner after our kids are in bed 😂.
Hoping to do this for V-Day this week - any suggestions for the potatoes if you don’t have a microwave? I am fine roasting them in the oven but the crispy smashed option sounds so tasty!
How cold do the potatoes have to be once they go in the fridge? Like 10 min enough or completely cool! So glad I subscribed! Xo a fellow boarding school alum
I’ve never cooked a steak well before…. This was delicious! The directions were easy to follow and spelled everything out so I felt comfortable cooking something I have zero experience with.
I love this recipe. I keep burning the seasoning on the steak. Do I have the heat too high?
darn! yes, you likely have super high burners, so try cutting them down next time and I'm sure you'll still get a great sear, without the burning!
Dug into the archives for this one to cook up a thick tenderloin and it came out to perfection!!
ah excellent digging!
This was great- steak came out perfectly. Thank you!
I'm so glad!!!!
Can you sub sweet potatoes in this recipe??

Found this in the archives. Easy enough for a Monday dinner, fancy enough for V Day or NYE. Thank you!

This sounds great but is there a substitute if I can’t use butter?
omit it or use vegan butter -- it melts nicely and adds flvor!! mykonos is great.
Thank you!

hi fellow boarding school alum! ideally, completely cool. if they're warm they'll just kinda crumble and fall apart
This was a *tasty* vday meal (even though I dropped my steak on the ground as I was pouring the juices on the taters)

Made this last night. It was my first time purchasing and cooking steak. The whole family LOVED it. I did it! Thank you!
