Butter-roasted potatoes with lemon, garlic, and broth make a side dish for lunch or dinner, or can be enjoyed on their own. Thin potato slices are tossed with butter, salt, pepper, and thyme, then roasted at 240 °C (465 °F) for about ten minutes, until golden on both sides. Chicken broth mixed with lemon juice and crushed garlic is then poured over the potatoes, which roast for another ten minutes.

The broth makes the potatoes tender inside, while the lemon adds a fresh flavor.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Peel the potatoes, cut them into thin slices, and place them in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste and the butter, then toss well.
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven.
Roast the potatoes at 240 °C (465 °F) for about 10 minutes, adjusting the temperature to suit your oven. Turn them during roasting so they become golden on both sides.
Once the potatoes are golden, pour in the chicken broth mixed with the lemon juice and crushed garlic. Roast for another 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the potatoes are ready to serve as a side dish with almost any meal.

Tip: Melt the butter before tossing it with the potatoes so it coats the thin slices more evenly. Butter browns quickly at 240 °C (465 °F), so you can replace half of it with oil.
