Preparation Time

  • Preparation Time: 15 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into thick slices
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, optional, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the herbs and garlic powder.
  3. Arrange the potato slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the broth has been absorbed.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Cook Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable stock instead of broth.
  • Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly dried after washing to prevent them from steaming instead of roasting.

Variations

  • Herb Variation: Experiment with different herbs like oregano or sage.
  • Cheesy Potatoes: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 10 minutes of roasting.

Keto Version

For a keto-friendly version, substitute potatoes with a lower-carb vegetable like radishes or turnips.
