Ingredients:
- 4 sweet potatoes, cut into 1 inch rounds
- 10 garlic cloves, smashed
- avocado oil
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 4 sprigs thyme
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
Preparation:
STEP 1.
Prep your potatoes, save the scraps for another dish. Smash your garlic and set aside.
STEP 2.
Arrange oven rack in the middle of the oven at 400*F.
STEP 3.
Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add potatoes, cut side down and brown for 2-3 minutes. Flip and reduce the heat to low. Add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until the butter is foaming and starts to brown, 2-3 minutes. Add chicken stock so potatoes are half submerged. Bring to a simmer.
