Homemade hollandaise directions.

  • If using a package of hollandaise sauce, follow the directions. If making homemade hollandaise sauce with a double boiler, add water, turn it up to high and bring water to a boil.
    While potatoes are browning, begin making the hollandaise sauce. Check to see if the water in the double boiler is boiling. If using a heavy-bottomed saucepan, place it on medium-low heat. Whichever method you use, melt the butter first. Add heavy cream. Then add egg yolks, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using) and mustard until blended. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened. Watch the pot doesn't get too hot. Don't let the sauce vigorously boil. You can take the pot on and off the double boiler, or element, as needed. When sauce thickens, remove it from the heat.

Notes

 
I like to leave the skins on the potatoes since Yukon gold potato skins are thin and easy to eat. You can peel your potatoes or use other potatoes in their place. I also suggest red potatoes for this recipe.
You can skip the additional butter added at the end but it sure does make these potatoes extra decadent.
If you don’t have creole seasoning, cajun seasoning or blackening seasoning works well too. You can also just use some paprika, salt, and pepper!
