Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
Scrub the baby potatoes clean and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave small ones whole.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt before adding the minced garlic.
Sauté the garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the potatoes to the pan and toss them in the garlic butter mixture to coat evenly.
Pour in the white wine and chicken or vegetable broth. Add the fresh thyme sprigs to the pan and season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the liquid to reduce and thicken slightly, tossing the potatoes to evenly coat them in the sauce. This should take 5–7 minutes.
Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with lemon zest for a bright finish, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
