For an even more intense saffron flavor, steep the saffron threads in a small amount of warm chicken stock or milk for 30 minutes before adding them to the potatoes. To elevate the richness, substitute heavy cream for the milk. A knob of butter can also be added for extra decadence. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh chives or a drizzle of truffle oil for an extra touch of elegance.

Jun 15, 2025I didn't have Yukon Gold potatoes, so I used Russet potatoes instead. The texture wasn't as creamy, but it still tasted great.
