Fondant Potatoes – melt in your mouth

Good morning and happy Monday good foodie friends. It has been far to long since my last post but here I am !

Ever wonder how to spice up your side dishes ? Try these potatoes and Wonderment is now on its way to your table !

Here we go –

What you need:

*4 russet potatoes

*Sea salt & pepper

*2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or your favorite cooing oil works too)

*10 tablespoons of butter

*1 cup of Low sodium chicken stock

*1 1/2 to two sprigs of fresh rosemary (really to your taste)

*2 cloves of fresh freshly minced garlic

*the rind and juice of 1 lemon (optional but worth it for sure)

*Maldon sea salt to garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (I use convection convert which ends up being 375 degrees

Peel the potatoes and slice off the ends & cut pieces into approx 1” thick rounds – then generously sea salt and pepper both sides.

Heat your cast iron skillet or really any other oven proof heavy pan with medium high heat. Now add the 2 tablespoons of oil and 4 tablespoons of butter and now sear one side of the potatoes to a golden brown (approx 4 mins) now turnoff the heat and flip the potatoes. Now add the garlic, the 6 tablespoons of butter, the rind and juice of the lemon and top with the rosemary. Now put the pan into the oven for approx 30 mins and let the magical flavors infuse those delectable flavorful potatoes

Now when they come out of the oven transfer to a serving dish, bathe with the sauce in the pan and now sprinkle with Maldon sea salt or your favorite flaky sea salt and be prepared for the happy faces.
