FONDANT POTATOES
Steps:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into the size and shape of a soap dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Set a saucepan over medium-high heat and add some oil. Sear the potatoes in the hot pan on both sides till golden brown. Add the stock until it just covers the potatoes, then add the butter, garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are golden and tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Hold in the cooking liquid until ready to eat, the longer the better.
- Slice and serve sprinkled with a little sea salt and chopped chives.
FONDANT POTATOES
The texture this old-school method provides for russet potatoes is unlike anything you get by just roasting: so dense, moist, and rich. The way the crusty, crunchy edges outside contrast with the uniquely rich and creamy inside is truly a magical thing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Cut off ends of russet potatoes, stand potatoes on end, and peel potatoes from top to bottom with a sharp knife to make each potato into a uniform cylinder. Cut each cylinder in half crosswise to make 6 potato cylinders about 2 inches long.
- Place potatoes into a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove starch from outsides; pat dry with paper towels.
- Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (such as a cast iron skillet) over high heat. Pour in vegetable oil; heat oil until it shimmers slightly.
- Place potato cylinders with best-looking ends into the hot oil, lower heat to medium-high, and pan-fry potatoes until well-browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Flip the potatoes onto the opposite ends. As they cook, use a paper towel held with tongs to carefully blot out the oil from the skillet. Add butter and thyme sprigs to skillet.
- Pick up a thyme sprig with tongs and use it to paint butter over the top of the potatoes. Cook until butter foams and foam turns from white to a pale tan color. Season with more salt and pepper. Pour chicken stock into skillet.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and cook until potatoes are tender and creamy inside, about 30 minutes. If potatoes aren't tender, add 1/4 cup more stock and let cook 10 more minutes.
- Place potatoes on a serving platter and spoon thyme-scented butter remaining in skillet over potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving.

CLASSIC FONDANT POTATO RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Peel the potatoes and then rinse them under cold water. Slice off the narrow ends of each potato, discard, and cut each remaining potato in half, crosswise, to create a total of 6 potato cylinders of nearly equal size. Heat the oil in a dutch oven or a cast iron pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, sear both sides of each potato cylinder until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium-high and add the butter pieces to the pan to melt around the potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the stock and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Finally, add the garlic and thyme sprigs. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Insert a sharp knife into one potato to see if it's tender all the way to the center. If tender, the potatoes are ready; if not, cook a little longer.
- Serve the potatoes with your favorite roast, chops, or grilled steak. You can also strain the stock and butter from the cooked potatoes into a small saucepan and reduce the stock slightly to serve alongside the potatoes; it really makes a delicious sauce.

- Peel the potatoes and slice the ends off, so they’re flat. You want a decent amount of surface area for the flat bits, so be sure to slice off a good amount, so the potatoes are the same width all the way along (not tapering at the ends).
- Cut the potatoes into 2” tall cylinders (you should get 2 cylinders out of a large, long potato and 1 out of a smaller potato).
- Heat the oil on the hob (cooker-top) in an oven-proof frying pan on a high heat until hot. Place the potatoes in the pan, flat side down and cook for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown. You may need to move them slightly a couple of times to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
