Melting Potatoes
These melting potatoes are a delightfully buttery and flavorful dish, perfect for comfort food lovers. Easy to make, they become a golden, crispy treat that pairs perfectly with meats or salads.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 4 cloves garlic smashed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter diced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the diced butter, chopped rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Heat in the microwave for about 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds until the butter is completely melted.
- Add the potato slices to the melted butter mixture along with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and a dash of black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until the bottom side turns a nice golden brown.
- After 15 minutes, carefully flip the potatoes and return them to the oven for another 15 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
- Next, add the chicken broth and the smashed garlic to the dish. Continue baking for another 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and most of the broth has absorbed.
- Once done, transfer the beautifully cooked melting potatoes to a serving platter.
Notes
These melting potatoes complement roasted chicken or a fresh salad beautifully.
