Fondant Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice off the ends so you can stand the potato upright. Cut the potatoes equally in half once more.

Step 3

In a large oven safe skillet add vegetable oil and set over medium high heat.

Step 4

When the oil is hot add the potatoes flat side down. Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown on the bottom, about 6-8 minutes per side. Add butter to pan before browning second side.

Step 5

Pour the chicken stock, butter, and thyme sprigs into the pan and place the pan into the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with kosher salt, and black pepper.
