Ingredients
Here’s what you need to whip up these delightful potatoes:
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes (or any potatoes you have on hand)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Now, let’s get cookin’! Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the potatoes and slice the ends flat so they sit nicely in your pan.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the potatoes in the skillet, cut-side down. Sear them for about 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown.
- Flip the potatoes over and add the minced garlic, thyme, and broth. Make sure the broth covers about half of the potatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper, bringing it to a gentle boil on the stove.
- Once it boils, transfer the skillet to your preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the broth has reduced to create a flavorful sauce.
- Remove from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving, spooning some of that rich broth over the top.
And there ya have it, y’all! Serve these Fondant Potatoes with your favorite main dish or enjoy them all on their own. Trust me, they’ll take your meal to a whole ‘nother level. Enjoy!
