Equipment

  • oven/stovetop safe pan (we used cast iron)

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes cut into 1 1/2 inch thick vertical pieces (see picture/video for example)
  • 4 tbsp butter we use salted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh chopped garlic
  • 4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine we use pinot grigio
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees farenheit.
  • Peel potatoes, remove ends, and slice vertically into 1 1/2 inch pieces. See picture or video for example.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of potato pieces.
  • Add butter and olive oil to oven safe skillet. When melted, add potato pieces.
  • Once potaotes are golden and crispy on 1 side, use a pair of tongs, and a thick pile of paper towels to absorb excess oil/butter in pan. Be cautious of how hot the paper towel will be. Flip potatoes onto opposite side (be cautious of oil splatter as well).
  • Add garlic, thyme, wine, and chicken stock to skillet. Place skillet in oven.
  • Once liquid has fully dissipated and potatoes are fully cooked through (roughly 30-35 minutes), remove pan from oven and enjoy.
