Melting Potatoes

4 russet potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic
Flaky sea salt, to garnish


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

Peel the potatoes and slice off the ends. Cut into 1-inch slices. Season both sides of the potatoes generously with kosher salt and pepper. 

Heat a cast-iron skillet (or other heavy-duty, ovenproof skillet) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter. Sear the potatoes on one side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the potatoes and add the broth, rosemary and garlic. 

Cut the remaining tablespoons butter into cubes and scatter on top of the potatoes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish with flaky sea salt and spoon the pan sauce all over the potatoes.
