Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the potatoes: Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into thick rounds, about 1-inch thick.
  • Season the potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato rounds with melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  • Arrange on a baking sheet: Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
  • Bake the potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Add broth: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the potatoes, and pour the chicken broth over them. This helps create a rich, flavorful base while making the potatoes tender inside.
  • Finish baking: Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges, and the broth is mostly absorbed.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
