Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.

Step 2

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf into the skillet.

Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low.

Step 9

Let the potatoes braise for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the broth has reduced significantly.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are fully cooked and have absorbed most of the liquid, remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the braised potatoes hot as a side dish to your choice of main course.
