Ingredients

  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 4 pounds starchy potatoes, such as russets, peeled
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups canned or cartoned chicken broth

Information

  • Servings: 12
  • Yield: 12 servings

  • Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • With motor running, drop garlic through the feeder tube of a food processor to mince. Scrape down sides of bowl. With motor running, add oil through feeder tube; continue to process. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in thyme and set aside. Switch to the slicing blade and slice the potatoes (or thinly slice them with a knife).
  • Brush a little of the garlic oil over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Make 4 layers in this order: potatoes, a generous brushing of the oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Slowly add broth at one corner to avoid washing off garlic and herbs.
  • Bake until most of the broth has been absorbed, about 45 minutes. To brown, move pan to middle rack and broil until spotty brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Let rest so potatoes continue to absorb liquid, about 10 minutes. May be made ahead, held at room temperature while roast cooks, then reheated.
