Zutaten:
- 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1½ tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1¼ teaspoons salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic (crushed and peeled)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and position a rack in the upper third. Use a metal baking pan, not glass, because glass can shatter when the cold broth hits it later.
- Peel the 4 pounds potatoes, trim the ends flat, and cut them crosswise into 1 inch thick rounds. Even thickness matters here so they cook at the same rate.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato rounds with the ½ cup melted butter, 1½ tablespoons thyme, 1¼ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon black pepper until every piece is coated. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in one or two metal baking pans. Crowding them means they steam instead of brown, so give them room.
- Roast for 15 minutes, until the bottoms are starting to brown around the edges. Pull the pans out and flip each potato with a metal spatula. Roast for another 15 minutes, until browned on the second side.
- Flip the potatoes once more, then pour the 2 cups chicken broth around them and scatter in the 4 cloves crushed garlic. Roast for a final 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender and the broth has reduced into a glossy sauce.
- Spoon the pan sauce over the potatoes and serve hot.
