Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 6 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and trim them into uniform, barrel-shaped pieces for even cooking. Aim for pieces about 2 inches in length.

Step 2

Rinse the potato pieces in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring all sides make contact with the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the surfaces are golden brown.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the potatoes are browning on the stovetop.

Step 6

Once browned, add the garlic cloves (left whole and smashed), fresh thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.

Step 7

Dot the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter around the potatoes for extra flavor and richness.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife and evenly golden on all sides. Turn the potatoes halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs and garlic cloves.

Step 10

Garnish the chateau potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
