Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large, uniform chunks, about 2 inches in size. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 3

In a large ovenproof skillet or roasting pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat until melted and sizzling.

Step 4

Add the potato chunks to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes without stirring, so they begin to brown on one side.

Step 5

Flip the potatoes to brown the other sides for another 3-5 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Season the potatoes evenly with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 7

Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pan, along with the rosemary, thyme, and whole garlic cloves (leave the garlic unpeeled for a milder flavor).

Step 8

Dot the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. This will help them achieve a rich, browned exterior while roasting.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for 45-50 minutes, turning them gently halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 10

Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork—it should be tender and golden-brown on the outside.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven. Discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Optionally, squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin and toss it with the potatoes for added flavor.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy the buttery, crispy goodness of Browned Franconia Potatoes.
