Morphology

sauteed = saute (transparent) = saute + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'saute', yielding the expected meaning 'fried quickly'.

Etymology

Sauteed comes from the French verb sauter, which means 'to jump'. A simple way to remember it is to picture small pieces of food 'jumping' in a hot pan as you cook them quickly in a little fat, and that is why sauteed means fried quickly in a small amount of fat.
