Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and slice the Yukon gold potatoes into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced potatoes in a single layer.
Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they start to brown and become tender. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
While the potatoes cook, peel and slice the onion into thin half-moons and mince the garlic cloves.
Once all potatoes have been browned, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Return the potatoes to the skillet and gently toss with the onions and garlic.
Pour the chicken broth and coconut milk over the potato mixture. Add the fresh thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
