• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices ( don’t peel them)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (use a high heat safe oil, such as avocado or grape seed oil)
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (I skip this)
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (I skip this)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper
