Serve your guests something so much better than just mashed potatoes with this tasty recipe for Easy Saffron Potato Bake. Comfort food has never tasted so good!
Thin slices of potato slow-cooked in the oven with a delicate saffron sauce- it’s the most delicious of side dishes that is perfect to serve with fish or chicken.
Since joining the gym, my husband and I have been eating more fish. My favorite is cod simply cooked in the oven with a bit of butter and parsley.
I’ve been making it once a week for the last few weeks. So far I have made it with my Garlic Roasted Green Beans and Rice Pilaf and another time with my Shrimp and Asparagus Saffron Risotto (without the shrimp). Which is what led to this recipe,
I was going to make it with the risotto again when I realized I didn’t have any risotto rice. I love saffron with fish so I had a look around at what else I could do.
I saw the potatoes and remembered a dish I had years ago and never forgot. It was a saffron potato and cod bake. It was fantastic but I lost the recipe. I wasn’t sure how to cook them together as they take much different times to cook so I decided to cook them separate instead of attempting to re-create the dish.
I went simple so not to over power the fish and it really was fantastic. The mild flavors bake into the potatoes making it a beautifully comforting dish.
