Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure proper cooking.
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes, then cut each into 4 to 6 thick circles, about 1-2 inches wide.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the potato rounds for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned.
Turn off the heat, add chicken broth, garlic, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender and golden brown.
Remove from oven and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter to create a rich finish.
