Golden Potatoes with Caper Brown-Butter CrumbsRoland Bello

These potatoes look like doubloons and taste like a million bucks. The addition of nutty brown butter, briny capers, and toasty homemade bread crumbs makes them a splendid companion to the pork roast—or any roasted meat, poultry, or fish, for that matter.

Cooks' notes:

•Potatoes can be peeled and sliced 1 day ahead and chilled in water.
•Potatoes can be parboiled 3 hours ahead.
•Bread crumbs can be made 2 days ahead and chilled in a sealable bag.
•Caper butter can be made 2 days ahead and chilled. Gently reheat before using.
