Melting Potatoes

Allow at least 45 minutes cooking time for these potatoes. Easy to prepare with few ingredients.

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
• 6 tbls butter, melted
• 1 tbls fresh Thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 2 garlic cloves

Instructions

1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat to 500 degrees. 
2. Square off ends of potatoes and cut crosswise into 1 inch thick disks. 
3. Toss potatoes with melted butter, thyme, salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes in a single layer in 13 by 9 inch baking pan, prefer a non-glass dish.
4. Roast potatoes until bottoms are beginning to brown around edges, about 15 mins. Remove from oven and flip each potato, return to oven. Cook for 15 mins more. 
5. Remove pan from oven, flip potatoes once more, add broth and garlic to pan. Roast until potatoes are tender and sauce has reduced slightly, about 15 mins more.
6. Baste potatoes with sauce before serving.

Notes
As I mentioned above this dish takes 45 mins to cook.
I did not add all the broth with garlic thinking it seemed to be to much liquid. Next time I will add all the broth. The broth cooks down quit a bit and the potatoes could use some of the sauce when serving. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes were delicious!
Served these with Skirt Steak with Mushrooms and Shallots and green beans.
4 people all potatoes were eaten.
