Frequently Asked Questions
Despite getting a bad rap for their carb content,potatoes do have nutritional benefits. They have more potassium than a banana and are rich in vitamin C. They’re also made of what’s called resistant starch, a kind of starch your body can’t digest, so you stay full longer. Resistant starch is also good for improving gut health.
Regularlyeating garlic has been shown to help lower cholesteroland blood pressure. It also has immune-boosting qualities.
The sturdy texture of Yukon Golds works best for this recipe. Considered a waxy potato, Yukon Golds stand up well to roasting, steaming and everything in between. A starchy potato such as a russet is more delicate and would fall apart during cooking. If you want to experiment with another type of potato, opt for a waxy variety such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes. Whichever potatoes you choose, be sure to cut them into thick, 1-inch slices. Thicker slices will get that signature creamy center without burning. Potatoes cut into a variety of thicknesses will not cook at the same rate, so take care to make sure they are uniform.
Once you’ve mastered this method, you can start to get creative. Try a different waxy potato (think red potatoes or fingerlings) or swap out the rosemary and thyme for different herbs like sage or marjoram. You can use any broth you wish. You can try beef broth or add a splash of white wine to the mix. A little lemon juice can add bright flavors, as can zest, which you can add along with the garlic.
These crispy and creamy potatoes are the perfect side dish. Serve them with main dishes likeroast chicken,seared steak,pork chopsorseared salmon.

True to their name, melting potatoes have a creamy texture that melts in your mouth while, on the outside, they have a crispy, flavorful crust. The juxtaposition of these two textures is the result of using both dry- and moist-heat cooking methods. The potatoes are roasted in a hot oven for 30 minutes (dry heat), then broth is added and they are returned to the oven to finish cooking (moist heat). The dry heat gives them a crispy outer crust, while the moist heat steams and infuses them with flavor (and moisture), making them extra creamy in the center.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
