Perfectly Pan Seared Potatoes

Discover the story

Because we literally can’t resist a good potato recipe!

There are lots of ways to make potatoes taste great and these Perfectly Pan Seared Potatoes are no exception! While they do take about 2 hours from start to finish, they are well worth the effort.

The key to these is making sure you slow roast them first with lots of chicken broth so that they remain nice and tender and don’t dry out. Then at the end, we pan sear them stovetop on a skillet with garlic until they get nice and browned and crispy on the outside. The result? Perfectly cooked potatoes that are crunchy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside.
