Potatoes Fondantes
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 lbs baby yukon gold potatoes or 2 lbs Red Bliss potatoes
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (less if the broth is salty)
- 1 -2 thinly sliced fresh chives
- sea salt, for seasoning just before serving
directions
- Trim potatoes of any eye or damaged areas and wash in cold water.
- Arrange as many potatoes as you can in one layer in a 10 inch non stick skillet.
- (there should be a little room to spare).
- Add the rosemary, broth, oil, butter and kosher salt.
- Bring to boil over high hear.
- Reduce heat to medium, cover the pan but leave the lid a little ajar and boil until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
- The liquid should still halfway surround the potatoes; if it doesn't, add more broth or water until it does.
- Remove the pan from the heat and press on each potato with a spoon or metal measuring cup just until it cracks open.
- Set the pan over medium high heat and cook, uncovered until all the liquid has evaporated and the potatoes have browned on one side, about 10 minutes.
- Gently turn the potatoes and brown the other side, another 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, passing the sea salt so diners can sprinkle on if they want.

I made this recipe for potatoes to go with our St. Patricks Day Dinner. The potatoes stold the show. Everyone raved over the potatoes. This was a fairly easy recipe to make. It took a few times to get the pressue right when cracking opening the potatoes, but really it was delicious. The potatoes were slighly crisp on the outside and moist with a rich taste in the inside. We won't wait for a special occasion to make these potatoes again.

Great soft & tasty little pink potatoes! We loved these! I had to extend the cook time a little both for simmering in liquid and evaporating liquid, so the recipe took a little more time than I had expected, but the prep time was still minimal. No chives because I didn't have any. I used dried rosemary and added a little thyme. Thanks for this wonderfully unusual recipe!
