Unveiling the Secret to Irresistible Melt in Your Mouth Potatoes
Potatoes, the humble heroes of countless meals, have a new claim to fame – Melt in Your Mouth Potatoes. But what makes these spuds so special? Let’s dive in and uncover the secrets behind this culinary marvel.
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
- 6 tablespoons of melted butter
- A teaspoon each of dried thyme and dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley
Preparing Your Potatoes for Success
Start by preheating your oven to 475 degrees and positioning the rack in the upper-middle position. Then, spray a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray to ensure your potatoes don’t stick.
The Magic of Seasonings
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. This flavorful blend will coat your potatoes, infusing them with deliciousness.
The Roasting Process: Turning Potatoes into Gold
Slice your Yukon Gold potatoes into thick slices, about 3/4 to 1 inch in thickness. Toss them in the buttery mixture until each slice is coated evenly. Arrange them in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet and let the oven work its magic.
Adding the Finishing Touches
After 15 minutes of roasting, flip the potatoes over for even cooking. Then, after another 15 minutes, it’s time to add the chicken broth and crushed garlic to the pan. Pop them back into the oven for a final 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
