Persian Rice

This Persian rice with golden potatoes and saffron takes the grand prize. I believe I've posted a few foolproof methods for cooking perfect rice, but the beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any specific measurements or exact times. This will make some of you very nervous but just go with it.

Ingredients

  • 3 quarts water

  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt

  • 2 cups basmati rice, rinsed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 russet potato, cut into ¼-inch slices

  • 1 pinch ground cumin

  • salt to taste

  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into thin slices, or to taste

  • 1 pinch saffron threads

  • 1 ½ tablespoons hot water

  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, or to taste
