Ingredients
  

  • 4 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes peeled
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or fresh
  • ½ tsp paprika optional, for a hint of smokiness

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Cut potatoes into thick slices (about 1-inch thick).
  • In an ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Sear the potato slices for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Pour in chicken broth and stir in garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Dot with the remaining butter. Transfer to the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
  • Spoon some of the buttery broth over the potatoes before serving. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • Swap butter for plant-based butter and use vegetable broth.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley before serving.
