Description
Melting Potatoes are crispy on the outside, creamy and “melt-in-your-mouth” tender on the inside. Roasted in butter, garlic, and broth, these potatoes are an easy, impressive side dish that pairs perfectly with chicken, steak, or holiday meals.
Ingredients
-
2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch thick rounds
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
In a large bowl, toss potato rounds with melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme.
-
Arrange potatoes in a single layer in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish (don’t crowd them).
-
Roast for 15 minutes, then flip each piece and roast another 15 minutes.
-
Carefully add garlic and pour in the broth around the potatoes (not directly on top).
-
Roast for 15 more minutes, or until the broth has reduced and the potatoes are golden and tender.
-
Spoon pan sauce over potatoes before serving.
Notes
-
Yukon Gold potatoes are best for this—they’re creamy and hold their shape.
-
Use vegetable broth to make it vegetarian.
-
Fresh herbs like rosemary or sage also work well in place of thyme.
