Melting Potatoes Recipe

Melting Potatoes are my go-to dish when I want to impress dinner guests. With pillowy-soft, melt-in-your-mouth middles drenched in a lick-your-plate-worthy garlic herb butter sauce, it's no wonder these get devoured in minutes!

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Trim ½ inch from the rounded ends of all of the potatoes and then cut in half to get two 1-inch rounds.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter, oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato halves and toss until they’re well coated.
  4. Place the coated potatoes in a 13x9-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray in a single layer. Pour any remaining sauce on top of them. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Pour in the broth and return to the oven for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
  6. Serve the potatoes with a drizzle of the sauce from the bottom of the dish and with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Potatoes: Grab a waxy variety, like Yukon gold, for the best results.
  • Ingredients: Sub in vegetable broth and vegan butter for a vegan dish. 
  • Prep-Ahead: You can slice the potatoes and store them in a bag in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 days ahead of time. They will stay fresher when kept in water with a bit of salt.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • Freezing: While you can tightly wrap these potatoes and freeze for up to 1 month, the texture won't be quite the same when thawed due to the water content in the potatoes.
  • Reheating: Warm the potatoes back up in a 350℉ oven for 10 to 15 minutes. You can use the microwave, as well.
