Potatoes Fondant Recipe by Tasty image

Fondant potatoes, also known as melting potatoes, are a classic French delicacy that seem like something only fancy chefs can whip up, but are actually quite simple to make. Yukon gold potatoes are cut into cylinders, pan-fried until crispy, then transferred to the oven to braise in a buttery herb bath for a crispy-on-the-outside texture that's deceptively creamy on the inside. Don't forget to eat the roasted garlic with the potatoes-it's the best part!

Time 50m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 ½ lb yukon gold potato, peeled, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch-long (5 cm) cylinders
kosher salt, to taste
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 sprig fresh rosemary
3 sprigs fresh thyme
6 large cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup chicken stock
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Heat the canola oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the potatoes with salt, then add to the hot skillet, flat-side down. Sear for about 5 minutes, until golden brown, then flip and cook on the other flat side for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the clarified butter, rosemary, thyme, and garlic to the skillet. Let the butter melt, then use a large spoon to baste the potatoes with the butter until coated, about 30 seconds.. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the potatoes for 35 minutes, or until tender.
  • Spoon the pan sauce over the potatoes and garnish with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Enjoy!
