  • 4 tablespoonscold unsalted butter, cubed, divided
  • ¾ cuplower-sodium vegetable broth

Directions

  1. 1

    Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 500°F.

  2. 2

    Toss sliced potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan (do not use glass, which may shatter). Scatter 2 tablespoons cubed butter over the potatoes. Roast, flipping once with a spatula, until browned, about 30 minutes.

    Remove from oven. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons cubed butter and carefully swirl the pan until the butter is melted and emulsified. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and ¼ teaspoon flaky salt.
