Melting Potatoes

So I bought a 5 lbs bag of potatoes for an upcoming recipe and then realized I didn’t have a mandolin.  Trying to slice potatoes as thin as I need for the potato stack recipe I had planned to make would have been way too much work so I changed gears and decided to push it off but… now I have 5 lbs of potatoes I have to finish in 4 days before I go on vacation so I have been making as many recipes as a I can with potatoes! First up are these melting potatoes and this might have been the fastest I’ve seen anything devoured at my house, there weren’t even any leftover!

They are calling melting potatoes because they melt in your mouth! Melting potatoes are wonderfully tender inside and super crispy on the outside.  I love how flavorful they are, soaking them in the chicken broth at the end really takes them to the next level.

Tips on melting potatoes recipe

• Want to make this dish vegetarian? Sub the chicken broth for vegetable broth.
• Other variations of potatoes work too such as russet or red potatoes.
