Prepping and Cooking the Melting Potatoes Recipe

The prep is simple enough – peel and slice the potatoes. Then toss the slices with the melted butter, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Yukon Gold, a type of yellow potato, are perfect for this recipe because of their creamy texture, but you can try using red potatoes instead if needed.

P.S. It took me a while to try something different than the traditional, but I now prefer my Y peeler!

It is best to use a ceramic baking dish or metal pan, because a glass dish may shatter when you add the broth. However, if you only have a glass dish available, you can try heating up the broth before you add it. Easy enough, right?

Serving Tips

You should be able to get 6 to 8 servings out of this potato recipe. But honestly, we all want seconds or thirds when these are on the table. So, in my experience, you can also only get 4 servings out of it too. I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t count on leftovers. 😉

FYI – The outsides of the potatoes should probably be browned a little more than pictured below, but I was in a bit of a hurry and they were still delicious. Another FYI, in the United Kingdom these potatoes are known as fondant potatoes.
