Ingredients:
Instructions:
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes.
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.
