Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes or small potatoes, peeled and cut into thick slices
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 475ยบ F. Grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  • Melt Butter with Herbs: In a microwaveable bowl, combine the butter, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, basil, salt, and pepper. Microwave until the butter is completely melted and the herbs are fragrant. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds.
  • Coat Potatoes: Transfer the sliced potatoes to a large bowl. Pour the melted butter mixture over the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated.
  • Arrange Potatoes for Roasting: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping to promote even cooking and crisping.
  • First Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes. Then, flip the potatoes (optional) and roast for another 15 minutes. They should start to turn golden and crisp.
  • Add Broth: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the potatoes again, and carefully pour the chicken broth onto the baking sheet. The broth will sizzle and start to create a steamy environment that helps the potatoes become tender inside.
  • Final Roast: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the broth has mostly been absorbed or evaporated.
  • Serve and Garnish: Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve them hot. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness if desired.
  • Melting Potatoes offer an irresistible texture and flavor that makes them a standout dish. Their crisp edges and creamy centers are sure to garner rave reviews from all who try them. Enjoy these heavenly potatoes as a splendid addition to any meal.
