Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

  • 20 baby potatoes 1½ to 2 inches in diameter
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ cup vegan butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp chives finely chopped

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray an 18x13-inch rimmed pan with cooking spray.
  • In a 5-quart Dutch oven, mix the potatoes and broth; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain, reserving broth for another use if desired. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to dry. Remove from heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted vegan butter and garlic. Pour 1/4 cup of the butter mixture over the potatoes, then toss to coat thoroughly. Place the potatoes in the pan. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to flatten each potato to about 1/2-inch thickness. Drizzle top with remaining butter mixture, then season with salt.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once, until browned and crispy. Transfer to a serving platter, then sprinkle with parsley and chives.
  • Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
