Welcome back to my French-style potato series! Fondant potatoes are so flavourful and delicious, with a caramelised crust and a creamy soft center. And the cooking juice that comes with it are next level delicious!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel and slice the ends off the potatoes so they lie flat on either side. Optionally, cut out a cylinder and use off-cuts for hash, mash, or soup.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a pan over medium-low heat. When hot, add the potatoes cut-side down. Fry for 5-7 minutes, or until deep golden brown, then flip and fry on the other side. Add the butter to the pan to melt and brown further.

  3. 3

    Scatter the garlic and herbs around the potatoes and season well. Carefully pour the stock around the potatoes.

  4. 4

    Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Serve with a generous drizzle of the cooking juices.
