Ingredients Needed:

• 4 large potatoes (preferably Maris Piper or Russet), peeled
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
• Fresh thyme sprigs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Olive oil for frying

How To Make Fondant Potato Recipe?

1. Shape the Potatoes: Cut the peeled potatoes into barrel shapes using a sharp knife for an attractive, even shape.
2. Brown the Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a heavy, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, flat side down, and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and brown the other side.
3. Add Flavorings: Reduce the heat to medium, then add the butter, garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Once the butter melts and becomes foamy, baste the potatoes for about 1 minute.
4. Braise the Potatoes: Pour the stock into the skillet until it covers the potatoes halfway. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Recipe Tips:

• Pick the Right Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Maris Piper or Russet for a perfect texture—crispy outside, tender inside.
• Preheat the Skillet: Heat the skillet well before adding potatoes to get a nice golden crust.
• Baste with Butter: Once the butter melts, spoon it over the potatoes to make them extra crispy and flavorful.
• Add Enough Stock: Pour stock to cover the potatoes halfway so they cook well and stay moist.
• Check Oven Time: Make sure the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. If not, cook a little longer.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the potatoes cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
• Freeze: You can freeze fondant potatoes for up to 1 month. Store them in a freezer-safe container.
• Reheat: Heat a little butter or oil in a pan over medium heat, and cook the potatoes for 3-5 minutes until warm.
