Melting Potatoes

These Melting Potatoes are crispy on the outside and melting on the inside. Named for the texture, these potatoes are baked in a way that dissolves the internal structure into an incredibly soft and almost mashed potato-like consistency on the inside.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 45 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1-inch thick

4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or chopped fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chicken or vegetable stock

3 cloves garlic, smashed

Directions

1Preheat oven to 500°F with the rack in upper third. Toss potatoes with butter, thyme, salt and pepper. Transfer to a 13-by-9 inch metal baking dish and arrange in a single layer. (Don’t use a glass pan, which can burst under such high heat.)

2Bake 15 minutes, flip the potatoes, then bake 15 minutes more. Remove the dish from the oven and add chicken stock and garlic cloves. Return to the oven until most of the stock is absorbed, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter and pour any remaining liquid in the pan over top. Serve warm.
