Melting Potatoes

Ingredients:

4 yukon gold potatoes

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons peanut oil

10 tablespoons salted butter

1 cup chicken broth

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 cloves garlic

Flaky salt, to garnish

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Peel the potatoes and slice off the ends. Cut into 1-inch thick slices. Season both sides of the potatoes generously with kosher salt and pepper.

Heat a cast-iron skillet (or other heavy-duty, ovenproof skillet) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter.

Sear the potatoes on one side until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes. Flip the potatoes and add the broth, rosemary and garlic.

Cut the remaining 6 tablespoons butter into cubes and scatter on top of the potatoes.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish with flaky salt and spoon the pan sauce all over the potatoes.
