Ingredients
- 800 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 500 milliliters Unsalted vegetable broth
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 Bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves. Leave the skin on for added fiber.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Place the halved potatoes into the pan, stirring occasionally to allow them to get a light golden color, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Season with black pepper and salt.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it braise for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the pan.
Step 7
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
Step 8
Serve the braised potatoes warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own.
