Description
These Smothered Potatoes are a comforting Southern-style side dish made with tender sliced potatoes, onions, and garlic cooked in butter and broth until perfectly soft and flavorful. Simple ingredients come together for a rich and satisfying skillet recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 medium yellow potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Place the sliced potatoes, onion, and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the flour over the potato mixture and toss again until everything is lightly coated.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
- Add the potatoes and onions to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and cover with a lid.
- Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
- Russet or red potatoes can also be used if yellow potatoes are unavailable.
- Cook uncovered for a few extra minutes if you prefer crispier edges.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
