Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 Bay leaf
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Dice the onion and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onions to the skillet, cooking until they become translucent, about 4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, stirring to coat them well with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring that it covers the potatoes by about half. Add more broth if necessary.

Step 8

Tuck in the bay leaf and thyme sprigs, either directly into the liquid or secured with kitchen twine for easy removal later.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 11

Cover the skillet or pot with a lid and let the potatoes braise for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 12

Stir occasionally and check if more broth is needed to prevent sticking.

Step 13

Once the potatoes are tender, remove the lid and discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.

Step 14

Allow any excess liquid to evaporate until the potatoes are coated in a rich sauce.

Step 15

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
