Ingredients
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 large russet potatoes or 4 medium
1 c. chicken stock
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Kosher salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
How to make Melting Potatoes
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: On medium-high, heat a large ovenproof skillet. For this, I used a 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
Step 3: After peeling the potatoes, cut the round ends off, and slice them into 1-inch thick pieces. Using paper towels, pat the potatoes dry.
Step 4: To the hot skillet, add the oil and 4 tablespoons of butter. Season the potatoes with kosher salt and coarse pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear the potatoes for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Take the potatoes off the heat when done.
Step 5: Cut the rest of the butter into cubes and set aside.
Step 6: To the pan, pour in the chicken stock and add the thyme and garlic. On top, of the potatoes, place the cubed butter.
Step 7: Pop in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Make sure to spoon the sauce on top of the potatoes.
Notes:
Swap thyme with rosemary or oregano if desired. For a mild flavor, use a sprig of rosemary that is around 4-inches long. For the oregano, use the same amount as the thyme.
