1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400F.

2. 2

   Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water by 1 inch.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until just tender when pierced with a knife.

   When the potatoes have cooked for about 10 minutes, season the skate wing fillets with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Place a large, ovenproof saute pan over high heat and add the olive oil.

6. 6

   When the oil is just smoking, add the skate wings and place a small weight, such as a heavy pot lid, on top.

   Cook for 3 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown.

8. 8

   Remove the weight, flip the fillets, and place the pan in the oven.

    Drain the potatoes and reserve.

11. 11

    Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat and continue cooking until the butter turns nut brown and becomes quite fragrant.

    Be careful that it doesnt burn; the line between nutty and black is a fine one.
