Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped into half, sliced
- 2 clove garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Chop peeled and rinsed potatoes into ⅙ inches-thick slices. Then, place them into a large bowl with chopped yellow onion.
- Add minced garlic, paprika, ground pepper, and salt. Stir to mix.
- Add butter to a large skillet, thick bottom iron steel or iron cast skillets are the best ones for this kind of recipe. Heat the skillet over the stove on medium heat.
- Add the mixture to the skillet. Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until they get brownish. Flip them occasionally, and scrap the bottom so they don’t get burned.
- Once potatoes are golden on top and bottom, pour chicken broth and heavy cream. Cover your skillet with a lid and simmer until potatoes are tender about 10-12 minutes. If you’d like to release the liquid, remove the lid and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Smothered potatoes are a delicious and easy dish that's sure to please. They're creamy, comforting, and oh-so-satisfying!
Tips
- Don't overcook the potatoes, as they can become mushy and lose their texture. Check them frequently and remove them from the heat once they're tender.
- If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more chicken broth.
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped herbs like parsley or chives to the finished dish.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to four days.
- These are best when freshly made. But, if you have some leftovers, you can reheat them in the microwave or a pot over the stove. In both cases, adding a little bit of liquid like broth or milk, will help for moisten you potatoes and refresh them
