Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and slice the Yukon gold potatoes into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced potatoes in a single layer.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they start to brown and become tender. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, peel and slice the onion into thin half-moons and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Once all potatoes have been browned, transfer them to a plate and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 7

Return the potatoes to the skillet and gently toss with the onions and garlic.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth and coconut milk over the potato mixture. Add the fresh thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
