Steps:
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a Dutch oven or other wide, deep pan. Place the Dutch oven over medium heat and add the chicken stock, garlic, thyme, butter, and salt to taste.
- Cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil over mediumish heat. Reduce the heat and gently simmer, shaking the pan or stirring the potatoes often, until the potatoes are just tender, 12 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook, turning occasionally and keeping an eye on the heat so the butter doesn't burn, until the potatoes take on browned splotches on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to a dish and season with pepper. Devour immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Put the potato slices on the hot grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side to mark them. Remove from the grill and place them in a single layer in a baking pan. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Add enough olive oil to reach 1/3 up the sides of the potatoes. Turn the potatoes over to coat with the oil. Scatter the thyme and garlic cloves over the potatoes, sprinkle with a little more salt, if desired, and place in the oven.
- After about 15 to 20 minutes, the potatoes will be tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the oil. Serve at room temperature.
- Chef's notes: Using a high quality olive oil will impart its flavor to the potato.
HERBED NEW POTATOES
Steps:
- Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook! Toss with the herbs, and serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil and butter over medium-low heat in a large ovenproof skillet. Add onion, and cook until very soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and shallots and half the rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high, and cook until potatoes begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and add remaining rosemary and the stock.
- Cover skillet, and transfer to the oven; cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes (timing will vary with size of potatoes). Uncover, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Small, waxy potatoes such as new potatoes or fingerling potatoes work best for this recipe. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
- Brown the potatoes before braising: This step adds flavor and color to the potatoes. Be sure to brown them in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the potatoes their flavor, so be sure to use a flavorful stock or broth. You can also add other ingredients to the braising liquid for extra flavor, such as herbs, spices, or vegetables.
- Cook the potatoes until tender: The potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape. Depending on the size of the potatoes, this will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve immediately: Braised potatoes are best served immediately, while they are still hot and tender.
Conclusion:
Braised new potatoes with thyme are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With their creamy texture and flavorful braising liquid, these potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
