Description

Meet melting potatoes, the Pinterest sensation! Crispy, creamy, buttery, caramelized potatoes served with reduced stock and crème fraîche for dipping, if you choose. The best potato side dish to serve with anything!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1-inch-thick rounds
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves and/or chopped fresh rosemary
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Flaky sea salt, to finish
  • Crème fraîche mixed with fresh chopped chives, to serve, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450° with a rack in the upper third of the oven.
  2. Toss the potatoes with the butter, olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper.  Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  3. Transfer to the oven and bake the potatoes for 15 minutes.  Flip the potatoes and bake for another 15 minutes.  Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the chicken stock and smashed garlic cloves; take care to pour the stock around the potatoes, not on top.  Return to the oven and cook for 10 minutes more, until the potatoes are tender and deeply golden brown.  Transfer to a serving platter and pour any remaining braising liquid over the top.  Serve warm with crème fraîche, if desired.
