We first spotted melting potatoes on Pinterest, where we quickly learned all recipes follow the same basic technique. Toss thick slices of potato in melted butter, roast in a very hot oven, add chicken stock at the end of the baking time, and serve with the reduced stock over top. Yeah, we aren’t mad at that. Despite our spotty history with Pinterest food hacks, we tried it. These potatoes lived up to their promise and then some! They are creamy, caramelized coins that melt in your mouth.
