Easy Potato Recipe-Melting Potatoes

I told you last week when I shared my Rosemary & Thyme Smashed Potatoes that I was on an easy potato recipe hunt. This week I have another easy, delicious potato recipe…Melting Potatoes. This easy potato recipe gives you potato medallions that are crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside. Just like last week, this potato recipe is a little time consuming but it is very easy to make.

Oh my gosh! Don’t those look so yummy? I need to make these again…tonight!

A Few Notes About This Easy Potato Recipe:

• Always use a metal pan due to the high cooking temperature, a glass or ceramic pan could shatter
• This recipe is easily halved or doubled-make as much as you need
