Instructions

1. Place potato chunks in a saucepan, cover with cold water by about an inch, and add salt. Boil for 8-10 minutes until fork-tender but not falling apart.
2. While potatoes boil, melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and dried rosemary (if using dried) and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Drain par-boiled potatoes thoroughly.
4. Add drained potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Sear potatoes for 5-7 minutes undisturbed until golden brown on one side. Toss or flip and sear for another 5-7 minutes until browned on multiple sides.
6. Pour chicken broth into the skillet. Add fresh rosemary now if using. Bring to a simmer.
7. Cover the skillet tightly. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes until potatoes are very tender and liquid has reduced.
8. Remove lid, increase heat slightly if needed to reduce any remaining liquid into a glaze.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Store cooled leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a skillet with a little added butter or oil over medium heat until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
