Drag out your heaviest frypan. Add a little oil and put on med-high heat.

Sear both sides of medallions. Add 1/3 cup water and as much wine as you won't want to drink.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over it and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the potatoes are done.

When the magic 25 minutes are up, turn off the heat to the potatoes, drain and set aside.
