Potatoes, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways. We’re all about mashing, smashing and even Hasselbacking. That’s why we were excited to read about an entirely new way to prepare spuds called melting potatoes. Imagine potato slices that are caramelized and crispy on the outside and creamy like mashed potatoes on the inside. Basically, the best of both worlds.

Step 2: Slice the potatoes into 1-inch rounds, place them in a large metal baking dish.
Step 3: Toss them in the melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Bake for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Step 5: Remove the baking dish from the oven, add the broth and the garlic.
Step 6: Continue baking until most of the stock has been absorbed, about 15 more minutes.
