Fondant Potatoes Recipe • An Elegant Change! | Club Foody

 

Most of the time, we need a side to complete a meal like vegetables, pasta, bread, etc. When it comes to veggies, I would say the most popular one is “Potatoes”. They can be mashed like Robuchon Mashed Potatoes, sautéed, fried, roasted, scalloped, boiled, etc.
 
There’s another method that I find so elegant, perfect for special occasions… Fondant Potatoes aka Pommes Fondant! They’re incredibly delicious! Slowly roasted in a beautiful infused butter and broth, they come out nice and crispy outside and creamy inside! As much as they look “fancy”, this French method is actually easy to make with tasty results!
 
Here are a few points I would like to highlight. Oblong potatoes are the shape we want. From there, it’s easier to form them into a cylinder. The ends have to be cut off so the potatoes stand straight. Don’t discard the ends and keep them for stews, soups, chowders, and other similar dishes. Also try to have the same size and height… it looks better and cooks more evenly.
 
After browning the ends in oil and quickly spooning some infused butter on top, chicken broth is added. They’re transferred to the oven and it takes about 30 to 40 minutes until the potatoes are tender. To test if they are done, insert a pointy knife on the side – if it goes in like butter, the Fondant Potatoes are ready. Depending on the thickness, it might take a little longer so if the liquid is low, add a splash more broth.
 
Easy to make, this Fondant Potatoes recipe is another delicious way to enjoy them. Creamy inside with a crispy outside, they are so elegant and will certainly elevate your dinner. They are also perfect to serve during the Holidays or any other special occasions.
Bon Appétit!
