Crisp Tender Potatoes

My in-laws grew up in Indiana. My husband grew up in a meat-and-potatoes type of home. This changeable delectable potato dish can match up with anything. The potatoes inside are tender and flavored with the broth and the potatoes on top are nicely crisped and browned.

Cooks' Note

Add your favorite sturdy herb to the potatoes, such as rosemary or thyme. If pairing with meat, use the appropriate broth.
