Creating Melting Potatoes is a straightforward process that yields impressive results. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the baby Yukon Gold potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry.
3. Sear the Potatoes: In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, cut side down, and sear for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown.
4. Add Aromatics: Once the potatoes are golden, flip them over and add minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper around the potatoes.
5. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, ensuring the potatoes are at least halfway submerged.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the broth has reduced and the potatoes are fork-tender.
7. Baste the Potatoes: While baking, occasionally spoon some of the broth and juices over the tops of the potatoes for extra moisture and flavor.
8. Finish with Butter: After baking, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the potatoes. Allow it to melt into the dish.
9. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
10. Serve Warm: Serve your Melting Potatoes immediately, allowing everyone to savor their incredible taste and texture.

These simple yet effective steps will lead you to create a dish that not only pleases the palate but also fills hearts with joy!
