Garlic Butter Fondant Potatoes offer a delightful combination of creamy potato texture with a crispy exterior, infused with rich garlic and butter flavors. This elegant side dish is simple to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Yukon gold potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform cylindrical shapes, about 2-3 inches in height.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the potato cylinders for approximately 5 minutes on each side until they achieve a golden-brown color.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the broth and season with thyme, salt, and pepper. The liquid should reach about halfway up the sides of the potatoes.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the potatoes. Let it melt and meld with the broth.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes due to their superior flavor and texture.
  • Using fresh garlic provides a much better taste than pre-minced varieties.
  • Ensure your potato pieces are uniformly sized for even cooking.
  • You can substitute vegetable or chicken broth with a rich homemade broth for deeper flavor.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving to match your preference.
