Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and leave the skins on. If some potatoes are larger than others, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Mince the garlic and set it aside. Chop the fresh parsley if using as a garnish.
Step 3
In a large skillet or sauté pan with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add the potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the butter and garlic.
Step 6
Pour in the apple cider and chicken or vegetable broth. Add the thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the potatoes cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fork-tender.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Allow the liquid to reduce slightly for 5-7 minutes, creating a light glaze that coats the potatoes.
Step 9
Remove the thyme sprigs and discard. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or a standalone vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
