These multi-colored potatoes tossed with artSAVOR 75 and finished with fresh tarragon are crispy little flavor nuggets. They are nearly fail-proof for even the most novice kitchen artist. Parboiling them is the secret to getting them quickly crispy in the sauté. I like to plate them together with the steak.

The parboiled potatoes had been transferred to tray and covered for a last minute sauté. Something heavy somehow was placed over the covered potatoes and smashed them. Without time to start from scratch, I just decided to use them smashed. I had no idea that many chefs purposely smash them and then roast or sauté the the potatoes to crispy goodness. I was a hero that night and my guests declared me to an extraordinary chef. I am honestly not a chef. I follow no rules. I just follow my eyes, nose and palate and create!

The simple combination of the heavy cream, potatoes and cheese is a match made in Paradise. Adding a touch of artSavor 75 takes it to 7th Heaven. Be warned however, this dish is a double threat, all that butter fat contributes to the addictive deliciousness and also makes it very high in calories.
