Melting Potatoes

Melting Potatoes 

4 russet potatoes 

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper 

2 tbsp vegetable oil 

10 tbsp butter 

1 cup chicken broth 

2 springs fresh rosemary

2 cloves garlic 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

Peel potatoes, slice off the ends and cut into 1" slices. Season both sides of the potato generously with salt and pepper. 

Heat a cast iron skillet or other heavy duty oven proof skillet over medium high heat.  Add oil and 4 tbsp of butter. Sear the potatoes on one side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the potatoes and sear 4 minutes & add the broth, garlic and rosemary. Scatter the remaining 6 tbsp butter over the top of the potatoes. 

Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until fork tender, approximately 30 minutes. Remove potatoes to a serving platter, top with the pan sauce & kosher salt to taste and serve.
