Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Sear potatoes cut-side down for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and add unsalted butter, basting potatoes for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in broth until potatoes are submerged halfway, adding garlic and thyme. Bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Season broth with salt and pepper, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until tender.
  7. Let potatoes rest for about 5 minutes after baking.
  8. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.
