Melting Potatoes

Golden Yukon Gold potato slices roast in a buttery herb bath until their edges turn crisp and caramelized. As they finish, smashed garlic and broth soak in, leaving each slice impossibly tender and rich with savory flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 5 clove garlic, peeled and smashed

Instructions

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 500°F.
  2. Toss potatoes, butter, oil, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Arrange in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan. (Do not use a glass dish, which could shatter.) Roast, flipping once, until browned, about 30 minutes.
  3. Carefully add broth and garlic to the pan. Continue roasting until most of the broth is absorbed and the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes more. Serve hot.
