Description

Magical roasted potatoes that are crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth on the inside, drenched in a tasty lemon and garlic sauce. Perfect for any meal!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes (such as Yukon gold), peeled and sliced 1 inch thick
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed and peeled

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500ยฐF (260ยฐC).
  • Toss the sliced potatoes in melted butter, thyme, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a metal baking pan.
  • Bake on the top-middle rack for about 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown on both sides.
  • Flip the potatoes again, then add the broth, lemon juice (if using), and garlic cloves. Roast for another 10 minutes until tender.
  • Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top while the potatoes are still hot from the oven for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Option: Add crumbled feta cheese or fresh herbs as a garnish for extra flavor.
  • Tip: For an even crispier texture, use a cast iron skillet instead of a baking pan.
