Equipment

Mixing Bowl
Rimmed Sheet Pan
aluminum foil

Ingredients

2 pounds Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes, halved
1/4 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, divided
4 cloves Garlic, peeled and crushed with the palm of your hand
1 Lemon, sliced into wedges
3/4 cup Chicken Stock
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Foil, for roasting
8 sprigs Fresh Herbs (like rosemary, thyme, oregano, or a combination)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C.
In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, 3 Tbsp olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon wedges, chicken stock, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
Pour mixture out on a rimmed sheet pan, scraping all of the liquids out of the bowl and onto the potatoes. Spread everything out, making sure the potatoes are in a single layer (if not, you’ll need to use a second sheet pan).
Cover pan tightly with foil.
Roast potatoes, covered, for 40 minutes.
While the potatoes roast, coat the herb sprigs in remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil (this will help them to release their flavor into the potatoes without burning).
After potatoes have been roasting for 40 minutes, remove foil. Flip potatoes with a spatula, and gently fold in herb sprigs.
Return potatoes to oven and continue roasting, uncovered, until nearly all of the stock has cooked off and potatoes are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
Discard herb sprigs. Season potatoes with some black pepper. Serve warm.

Notes

Kosher Salt - I use Morton’s Kosher Salt to test recipes. If using table salt, reduce by about half. If using Diamond Kosher Salt, increase by about 25%. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to salt, so be sure to taste and adjust as you go.
