Melting potatoes are a delicious way to enjoy a classic root vegetable with a twist. Known for their crispy exterior and soft, creamy interior, these potatoes are an excellent side dish for any meal. With a perfect blend of herbs and a rich gravy, this recipe will surely please your taste buds.

Instructions:

2. Prepare Potatoes:
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
3. Season and Sear:
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, then add the potato slices in a single layer. Sear the potatoes for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they begin to turn golden brown.
4. Season and Roast:
Once the potatoes are seared, add the rosemary and crushed garlic cloves to the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.
5. Add Gravy:
After 15 minutes, remove the skillet from the oven and flip the potatoes. Pour the chicken gravy over the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated. Return the skillet to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. Garnish:
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes.
7. Serve:
Serve the melting potatoes hot, straight from the skillet, ensuring each serving gets some of the delicious gravy. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose potatoes that are even in size to ensure uniform cooking.

- Pat the potatoes dry after peeling to help them crisp up in the oven.

- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; ensure there is enough space between the potatoes for proper air circulation.

- Use fresh rosemary and parsley for maximum flavor.

- Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

- Keep an eye on the potatoes towards the end of the cooking time to avoid over-browning.
