Fondant Potatoes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch rounds
- 10 garlic cloves, smashed
- salt and pepper
- avocado oil
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
Preparation:
STEP 1.
Peel potatoes, trim ends, and cut in half crosswise. You should now have 8 flat potato rounds. Place in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 20 minutes.
STEP 2.
Arrange oven rack in the middle of the oven at 400*F.
STEP 3.
Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water and pat dry on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
STEP 4.
Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add potatoes, cut side down and brown for 7 minutes. Flip and add garlic, butter, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until butter is foaming and starts to brown, 2-3 minutes. Add chicken stock so potatoes are half submerged. Bring to a simmer.
STEP 5.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes are fork tender and lightly browned on all sides, 15-20 minutes.
STEP 6.
Garnish with more thyme and drizzle with the juices to serve.
