Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it reaches the high temperature needed for perfect roasting.
Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced Yukon Gold potatoes with melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Mix well until every slice is evenly coated with the flavorful butter and seasoning blend.
Arrange Potatoes: Arrange the potato rounds in a single layer in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crisping.
First Roasting: Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes to develop a crispy foundation on the exposed sides.
Flip and Roast Again: Carefully flip each piece over to roast the other side, continuing to roast for another 15 minutes to ensure even golden browning on both sides.
Add Broth and Garlic: Remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Scatter the minced garlic evenly over the potatoes to infuse them with aroma and flavor during the final roasting.
Final Roast: Return the dish to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become golden brown on the outside and tender within while absorbing the broth and garlic essence.
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
