Fondant Potatoes

Directions

  1. 1Peel the potatoes.
  2. 2For pros, lie the potato on its side, then carve it into a cylinder shape.
  3. 3For intermediate level, stand the potato upright then cut thin shavings down as you rotate.
  4. 4For the easiest method, just use a round cutter.
  5. 5Alternatively, you can skip the shaping altogether and just cut thick slabs.
  6. 6Season the potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. 7Pan-fry until golden on both sides (6-8 minutes per side).
  8. 8Add thyme and butter, and then spoon the foamy butter all over the potatoes.
  9. 9Add the stock.
  10. 10Transfer the pan into the oven for 30 minutes.
  11. 11Baste halfway through, then again at the end.
  12. 12Transfer to a serving platter.
  13. 13Sprinkle with fresh thyme, and pour all the butter over.
  14. 14Sprinkle with sea salt flakes if you want.
