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!

Can you sub sweet potatoes in this recipe??

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!

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.

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

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)

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 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 😂.
